Contra Cabal 702-02a-2 Sweet Cheat 2

Suzanne Dee Lebsock (wife of Richard L. McCormick, President, University of Washington) has reached fifty years of age having written virtually nothing apart from her PhD dissertation. She has survived academically for almost half her life by self-plagiarism, employment fraud, and misapplying grant and fellowship funds. She now holds a full professorship in the History Department, University of Washington, at an annualized salary of $114,240.00 plus the taxpayer-financed fringe benefits that her husband receives. The data show a pattern and practice of self-plagiarism and unlawful nepotism that a reasonable person (and probably a judge) will interpret as employment and scientific fraud. December 1, 1999, Nmesis requested both Governor Gary Locke and Attorney General Christine O. Gregoire to investigate irrefutable evidence supporting alleged employment contract fraud by Lebsock and McCormick. They have not responded. Moreover, Locke and Gregoire need to study the similar scheme that Lebsock and McCormick allegedly used to swindle the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill before moving to the University of Washington. An independent scholar has reviewed and verified all the evidence that support the data in the tables.
