In June of 1992, Latvenas, a two-time resident assistant (R.A.) alternate, received a letter from Bonfiglio. The letter explained why Latvenus had not been chosen to fill the one male vacancy created in the R.A. staff. Latvenus said that he was lead to believe that he would fill the vacancy through several conversations he had with Caulfield and he made his financial arrangements based on this. According to Latvenus, ·'Cathy said, 'If you get a 2.5 and keep your nose clean, the position is yours."' Caulfield said, "Through the conversations we had, he had every reason to believe that he would get the position, but he knew that there were concerns."
Latvenus did receive a 2.5 at the end of the spring semester but it is the second half of Caulfield 's statement, the concerns she herself spoke of, that is in contention. In the letter sent to Latvenas, Bonfiglio cited two specific code of conduct violations committed by Latvenus in the fall of 1991 and the spring of 1992. Bonfiglio would not comment on the specific incidents. The following is Latvenus' account. According to Latvenus, in late /Jhoto by Kimberly M.
