We've seen examples of faculty, staff, coaches, police officers, and citizens who have evidence of criminal violations, and they've suffered massive retaliation at the hands of the whole University of Nevada, Reno retaliation apparatus that protects the upper-level administrators.

The retaliation apparatus involves the President's private police force, the UNRPD.  It also involves the human resources and affirmative action offices.

Affirmative action is designed to protect the faculty, staff and students. But at UNR it's turned around and used as a tool for harassment by conducting secret investigations of whistleblowers.

You've seen evidence that the president's office and the attorneys working for the president's office have actually intimidated the local media to make sure that they're really just a mouthpiece for the university administration and won't print most of the allegations that come forth from whistleblowers.

Other parts of the protection and retaliation apparatus are the general counsel's office (led by Mary Dugan).  And that office is housed within the president's office.  Therefore, everything that they do has the explicit recognition and approval of the upper administration.

What is all this trying to protect? 

It's trying to protect widespread abuses of the law involving financial crimes, athletic department crimes, police department crimes, EEO crimes, legal counsel crimes, and the whole UNR abuse of power. 
 

UNR's message to faculty, staff, students and the public:  If you challenge our power, we will threaten, intimidate, harass, demote, dismiss, sue and sanction you, and we'll get the taxpayers to pay for it.

I'm sure that when you first heard us say this or first read our documents you thought this was a pretty outrageous claim: UNR as a RICO operation.  We submit to you that we have described and presented evidence that meets all 11 elements of the FBI RICO criteria.

The latest story ["Embattled Attorney Found Dead"] is not surprising.

Sounds to me like [Nancy Quon] was backed into a corner with her own guilt and actions, but was also maybe encouraged or helped along.  She never would have been in the mess had she not been corrupt to begin with. 

Milton Glick succumbed to stroke, yet by his own actions. 

Do you think it was suicide or that someone helped her along to deflect the blame?

Looks like Reno Attorney Kent Robison was caught in yet another lie:

According to this story in the Reno Gazette Journal, a sales manager for the Seenos, the Northern California family fighting a legal battle with lobbyist Harvey Whittemore, was arrested last week on fraud charges.

In a recent interview with the RGJ, Kent Robison, the Seenos' lawyer in civil litigation against Whittemore, said the FBI raided Seeno company offices in 2010 to collect information about donations the Seenos had made to an allegedly corrupt politician.

But in an affidavit supporting the indictment, FBI Special Agent Steven Coffin said documents collected from Seeno offices revealed that the sales manager for Discovery Sales, an entity that is part of Seeno Homes and Discovery Homes, used fraudulent loan applications to purchase four Seeno homes. This caused the banks and their appraisers to overvalue the Seeno properties.
 
Robison did not respond to questions about the discrepancy in explanations about the FBI raid.

We mentioned here that Hearing Officer Kockenmeister was caught bribing a former state employee in an effort to conceal his misconduct on the job.

A reader sent the link to this new website, which details Kockenmeister's misconduct (video included).

We have been contacted by dozens of individuals who have had horrifying experiences with this crook.

Kockenmeister belongs behind prison bars, not sitting in judgment of others.
