That would have been the end of it, hadn’t administrators took it upon themselves to investigate this serious matter and conclude that Welch had committed a major offense.

What’s going to happen down the road, no more great writers, artistes, inventors anyone with imagination will be doomed; is that what we want for the next generation?
