NOTICE AND DEMAND TO LIFT
“HOLD”
ON APPLICATION FOR UW SUMMER
SESSIONS
TO: President Michael K. Young
University of Washington

FROM: Paul A. Mitchell, B.A., M.S.
Damaged Party
DATE: April 22, 2013 A.D.
SUBJECT: false and defamatory “hold” on outstanding
Application for UW Summer Sessions
Greetings President
Young:
By
now, you and responsible subordinates of yours should be fully aware of my
formal REQUEST FOR COPIES OF EDUCATION RECORDS, dated March 6, 2013, and the
University of Washington’s formal reply, transmitted on March 25, 2013 by
Barbara Lechtanski, Compliance Officer (copies enclosed).
Enclosed
you will please find a printed hard copy of my email reply to Ms.
Lechtanski. In the latter email, I
explained that the ONLY personal contact I have had with the UW Campus Police
Department occurred on 5/9/2012, when I met with Lt. Schulz concerning the
false and defamatory rumor, traced to personnel in UW’s Registrar Office,
that there was some kind of “open police action” involving me.
By
now, it should be an established FACT, well recognized by all concerned, that
there was never any “open police action” involving me, and the very same status
remains true right up to the present day.
Please
try to place yourself in my shoes, if only for a brief moment. I am confident that any capable university official of your rank will agree that the
following expectation of mine was quite reasonable, after I was threatened
with expulsion from a UW Computer Science class in which I was registered and
enrolled in June 2009:
If
I had attempted to “force the issue” by attending the second session of that
class, after being effectively threatened with arrest, would it not have been
entirely reasonable for me, or anyone else, to expect that such an arrest would
have generated a permanent record of UW Campus Police contact with me?
And,
would it not also be fair to say that there would then have been “open police action”
concerning me as a result of an attempt by me to attend that class,
particularly if certain Faculty and Staff did follow through with their email
threat to summon Campus Police?
The
main reasons why I am asking the latter questions arise from the First
Amendment doctrine better known as the “chilling effect.” Such a threat of arrest and forced expulsion
from a CS class in which I was already registered and enrolled, and which I
was directed to attend by CS Department personnel, most certainly had a chilling effect on my desire to advance
my higher education at the University of Washington.
I
chose to stay away and NOT attend that second class session, because I did NOT
want to be forced out of necessity to explain my side of that story innumerable
times for the remainder of my years here on planet Earth. I do hope you can understand everything I am
saying here. I emphatically do not think
I am being unreasonable.
One
last thing: I urge you and your University
Counsel to give serious consideration to the legal theory of respondeat superior, also known as
vicarious liability. I am quite willing
and able to invoke that legal theory, if your office does not timely comply
with the following lawful DEMAND. You
may take this as my Notice of Intent.
DEMAND TO LIFT HOLD ON SUMMER
ONLY APPLICATION
Accordingly, formal DEMAND is hereby made of your Office
of University President to instruct the Office of the University Registrar to
lift any and all hold(s) on my outstanding Application for UW Summer Session(s),
and to do so by serving proof of such instructions to the mailing location
shown below no later than Friday, May
24, 2013 A.D. Beyond that reasonable deadline about one
month hence, your silence will activate legal estoppel pursuant to Carmine
v. Bowen, and your silence will also constitute fraud pursuant to U.S.
v. Tweel.
Thank
you, President Michael K. Young, for your timely and professional
consideration. It’s time UW admitted
their gross errors and did the right thing, for a change!
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Paul A. Mitchell
