Well, that's very obvious, Steve.
" is in
fact my sick son Robert Morein, who's now got a new
stalking name as he's ruined his and MY good name with
his antics.

No matter how many times you plonk these sick wackos,
they keep coming back with new aliases. At this point I
don't care if this personage is the guy suffering from
some mental illness in Oz, or if there really is such a
person as "Sylvan Morein, DDS" he comes off as equally
sick.
It's Brian L. McCarty. He's been doing this forever. My
father has never been on usenet.

The story about Bob Morein's University experience is
correct though.

" A recent Pennsylvania case has reaffirmed the right of
colleges and universities to make academic decisions
without fear of reprisal by the courts.

In Morein v. Drexel University, et al., doctoral student
Robert Morein challenged the right of Drexel University
to dismiss him on academic grounds. Judge Esther R.
Sylvester of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas
initially ordered Drexel to refund Morein's tuition. The
Pennsylvania Superior Court, however, reversed that
decision, reaffirming the longstanding principle that
faculty-not courts-should make academic decisions.

Morein enrolled in Drexel's electrical engineering Ph.D.
program in 1986. After eight years, the university
dismissed him for failing to make satisfactory progress
toward his dissertation. Morein filed a lawsuit against
Drexel and five faculty members, including the
university's president, claiming breach of contract,
negligence, and denial of due process. A panel of three
attorney arbitrators initially found in favor of the
university. Morein appealed and Judge Sylvester retried
the case. The trial court ruled in favor of Morein,
holding that the university had not fulfilled its
contractual responsibility to educate him properly.

The court entered a final judgment in favor of Morein for
$44,914 in back tuition and ordered Drexel to remove all
failing grades from his transcript. The university
appealed to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, which
reversed the ruling in a 2-1 decision.

At issue before the Superior Court was whether the trial
court erred by substituting its own judgment for the
academic judgment of Drexel's faculty members. The
American Council on Education, the Association of
Independent Colleges & Universities of Pennsylvania, and
numerous colleges and universities in the commonwealth
filed an amicus brief on Drexel's behalf.

In reversing Judge Sylvester, the Pennsylvania Superior
Court reiterated the well-established U.S. Supreme Court
and Pennsylvania precedent that holds that courts must
show deference to academic institutions, their faculty,
and their academic decisions. While the Superior Court
acknowledged that a student can bring an action against a
university for breach of contract, it rejected the trial
court's attempt to second-- guess the university's
academic decision making under the guise of claiming that
the university had breached its contract to educate a
student properly. The Superior Court held that Judge
Sylvester's wholesale disregard of the qualifications and
judgments of Drexel's faculty was improper and without
any basis in fact or record. The Superior Court also
found that the faculty had repeatedly reminded Morein of
his academic deficiencies and that he had refused to
correct them.

This case reaffirms the right of a private university to
dismiss a student on academic grounds and highlights the
inappropriateness of courts that attempt to substitute
their judgments for the academic decisions of a
university and its faculty. "

From the "truth is stranger is fiction" department -

Last time I reminded Robert Morein about these true relevant facts, he wrote
a letter to the pastor of my church about what a bad person I was.

In Robert Morein land - it's un-Christian to tell the truth.
