To the Editor:
I am writing in response to the article about the charges being dropped against Professor Kogan ("Prof. Kogan acquitted on shoplifting charge," June 29). The reporter states that during the past few months, Kogan received support from her colleagues but not from her students. From where does the reporter receive her information? Even a marginal amount of due diligence would lead one to find that numerous students sent Professor Kogan countless e-mails and letters of support during this difficult time. I for one even published an article in The Dartmouth on the matter ("Kogan deserves her privacy," Feb. 19).
The reporter should have checked to see whether any students had publicly spoken about the flagrant abuse of power exercised by the Co-op in "protecting the assets of the store." The true assets of any community or "cooperative" are the people who comprise it, not over-priced vitamins.
