To the Editor:

To the president of SUNY Potsdam: since May of 2015, I have sent you many emails regarding the abuse and bullying of my daughter Alyssa A Tarantino, and the other Alpha Delta Kappa sorority members, by Annette Robins and William “Chip” Morris and Julie Dold.

You have not even once replied to any of my emails.

These five young, upstanding, and courageous young women maintained high academic standards during their attendance at SUNY Potsdam. They should be recognized as some of the best students ever to attend SUNY Potsdam.

They were wrongfully accused by unnamed students. The extremely weak and trumped up evidence against them, was nothing more than hearsay, gossip and lies!

Yet Annette Robbins, took this hearsay, gossip and lies as gospel truth and abused their basic rights to due process and bullied them into pleading no contest to these false charges.

You then withheld their diplomas and transcripts before a settlement agreement had been signed or a hearing held. And this is despite their stellar academic achievements and all of the young women denying any wrongdoing!

Then, you approved, a punishment for something they were innocent of committing! The only thing these fine young women were guilty of were making and having life long friends!

Now, I request that these false charges, brought against these women, and the settlement agreement be removed. In addition I request, that Alpha Delta Kappa, which was also falsely accused, be reinstated as a recognized sorority on the SUNY Potsdam campus.

Then I request, that the same punishment imposed on these five Alpha Delta Kappa students, be imposed on Annette Robbins, William Chip Morris, Julie Dold, as well as the two unnamed students, who supposedly brought their gossip, hearsay and lies to the attention of Julie Dold.

I humbly request that you reply to this letter and assure me that these request shall be honored, on their merit alone!
