It is probably foolish to keep this thread going, but it is Friday. Advance apologies. It should go without saying that there is more going on here than meets the eye. One article that seemed to suggest a bit more of the back story (http://www.dailytarheel.com/index.php/article/2010/10/researcher_appeals_pay_cut_demotion#comment8947) said: "In the intention to discharge notice, Carney wrote that Yankaskas was negligent in assigning security duties without granting additional training to Melinda Boyd, whom he deemed to be underqualified. Carney later became aware that his wife’s Social Security number was exposed and said his personal connection to the breach has not clouded his judgment." “At the time, Ms. Boyd had no certification or experience as a server administrator,” Carney wrote. “She has stated that she requested that you provide additional training for her in server administration but that you declined to do so.”" I found it odd that a principal investigator would be held responsible, however we are a centralized IT shop. dennis Dennis Bohn network manager 5168773327
