Communications with Faculty Members at Geosciences
Faculty member
Department of Geosciences
SUNY at Stony Brook
Dear Colleague,
I would like to bring to your attention my new Web site and invite you to post a comment. The Web site http://suny-stonybrook.blogspot.com/ intends to document the discrimination against conservative and other non-liberal scientists at the universities in the United States in hiring, retention and promotion, and includes my account of persecution at your Department. This is an opportunity for you to break the wall of silence, explain your role in my persecution, or the reasons for your inaction. I hope you will rise to this occasion.
Sincerely yours,
Tibor Gasparik
Research Associate Professor
This e-mail was sent to the following faculty members at the Department of Geosciences:
Daniel Davis, Gilbert Hanson, William Holt, Scott McLennan, Hanna Nekvasil, John Parise, Brian Phillips, Troy Rasbury, Richard Reeder, Martin Schoonen, Lianxing Wen, Teng-fong Wong

Dear Tibor,
I have been away and just came back. It seems that there are one or two things that we need to discuss. Any chance you can drop by my office later this week or next week to have a chat?
Hope you have a pleasant summer.

I met Teng-fong Wong, the Chair of the Department of Geosciences, Tuesday, July 12, 2005, at 10:30 AM. Just before the meeting, I noticed that somebody went through my possessions in my office (Rm 336) and that my mail box in the mail room was removed. Teng-fong told me that the university administrators were unhappy with my Web site and that this placed the Department in a difficult position. The Department and the University retaliated by taking my name off the list of faculty members on the departmental Web site and kicked me out from my office. I was told to remove my belongings from the office by the end of July. By removing me from the list of faculty members, the Department officially reduced the number of conservative professors at the University by one.

SUNY at Stony Brook
Dear Teng-fong,
As you mentioned in our meeting yesterday, my name has been removed from the list of the faculty members on the departmental Web site. It is clear that this happened in retaliation for publishing my new Web site http://suny-stonybrook.blogspot.com/. This means that the University decided to punish me for exercising the most basic right of all American citizens, the freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. I want to appeal this decision and need to know who among the “higher-ups” ordered my name to be removed. I also expect the Department as a group and the faculty members as individuals to rally in my support and denounce this decision. Please, respond by posting a comment on my Web site under “Communications with Faculty Members at Geosciences.” I would also appreciate supporting comments by other faculty members. Thank you in advance for your support.

To follow up on our discussion when we met last week, I talked to Owen who has now identified a cabinet (with lock) that he will make available to you for storage of your journals and other materials. Please contact him when you are ready to move. Also let him know If you need help moving.

Dear Teng-fong,
This is to notify you that I have filed a complaint with the Office of Special Counsel. While my case is under consideration, any further action against me, including eviction from my office (Room 336), would be viewed as retaliation. Thank you for your cooperation on this matter.

Dear Teng-fong,
This is to let you know that I filed a complaint against the university in the Federal District Court in Central Islip on August 11, 2005. The summons has been served today. Therefore, any further action against me, including unauthorized eviction from my office (Rm 336), would be viewed as retaliation or intimidation, which is unlawful pursuant 42 U.S.C. 1985. Thank you for your cooperation on this matter.
Regards, Tibor

Dear Tibor,
This is to follow up on my e-mail to you dated 7/27, in which I notified you for the second time that we have identified a cabinet (with lock) in ESS Room 130 that is available for storage of your journals and other materials. I also informed you in the same e-mail that desk space is available if you so request, and that you should contact Owen when you are ready to move.
However, it is my understanding that you still have not contacted him about this matter.
A Visiting Professor will arrive from Cambridge University in August, and I would like to ensure that Room 336 is ready for him to move in before classes start in the Fall. Accordingly I have instructed Owen to proceed with moving your stuff to storage in Room 130 on August 15. I understand that you still have in your possession the key for ESS room 336, which I would appreciate your returning ASAP to the Department.
Regards, Teng-fong
