And they didn't seem to be aware of documents?

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

  1. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    And what was the process for seeking an exemption at that time?
  2. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    I don't remember that, as well. I can't remember the details of that, as well. All I can tell you is that the exemption was approved right before Christmas of 2014.
  3. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    Okay. And so back to the mid-February meeting, were they just like, did we review it and we were okay with it?
  4. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    No. They knew that they had approved it. Again, I would've expected them to have the documents in the meeting, right. That would have made sense. They didn't have the documents, and I don't know why.

    And they didn't seem to be aware of documents?
  6. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    No. They were aware that there were documents that existed. They didn't seem to have a copy of them, and that surprised me. So I immediately said, "I'll be glad to send you the copies," and the university did, so we did.

    Good thing you guys had a copy. DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com
  8. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Well, yeah, really.

    I mean, was the conversation, were they worried? What was the tone of it? I mean, we see -- and again, these have been FOIA'd -- there's a spur of sending out that paper, within hours, to multiple different people. Now, you know, a lot of the emails don't have commentary, but it's on February 1st. We know what else happened on February 1st.
