FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The President and Governors of the University of West Terrier wish to advise that we have initiated an investigation into allegations of unethical experimentation on Humans. The allegations, of which we were first made aware in June, stem from research conducted in the Department of Human Studies.

Our investigating team consists of several faculty members who serve the university independently of the department in question: Dr. Chloris Cougar, Dr. Fionnula L. Fox, Dr. Hume T. Goat, Dr. Luule Aednik, and Dr. Simone Gibbon. Other members of the team include Dr. Berthilidis Strix, Inspector Antonia T. Fossa of the Interspecial Investigations Unit, and Mr. Justice Augustus Dindon. The entire team will be overseen by Dr. Milada J. page4image31040Goose, head of the Honking Hollow laboratory at the University of West Terrier and a senior member of the Committee to Oversee Scientific Research in The Park (COSRIP).

The university wishes to emphasize that this is an investigation into alleged misconduct and that no particular member of our faculty or student body is under investigation at this juncture. Further details and the results of the investigation will be published and posted as they become available.

The President and Governors of the University of West Terrier are pleased to announce the appointment of Hermione Hippo as Assistant Professor in the School of Medicine.

A nurse and healer both by nature and vocation, Hermione brings with her many fine qualities and a wealth of experience that will benefit UWT students.

Hermione’s nursing career began at a zoological garden south of The Park. After deciding to head north, she arrived in The Park and immediately found employment with Dr. Bourru. In 2004, she accepted the position of head nurse at the Park Hospital for the Afflicted and Infirm, where she will continue to work. Among her credits are the containment of Small Ball Fever in 2007 and of Tulip-Related Illness in 2013.

Hermione will be a great asset to the School and to our student body. We are extremely happy that she has accepted our invitation and we are honoured to have her on staff.
