This is over a year old....and has been viewed a whopping 157 times Nnow we have to individuals who have set up UT accounts who appear to have done so just to make the comments below!

Very interesting!!!!

If any one of the participants of the Rutgers conference is deeply offended at having their participation known, please explain why? And please do so openly.

Dottie had/has every right to shed light and her views here.....and the text quoted was from Rutger's own site.

What's your problem?

[sbushbask]

This is not the forum held at Rutgers and does not include the people listed.

[nilent]

@sbushbask If you read the descriptive text you'll see that she's talking about something that happened last year. (2009)

@nilent The text associated with this video lists the names and titles of conference panelists who participated in a forum sponsored by Rutgers University in 2009. They were not a part of the forum depicted in the video. To list the panelists here is blatent misrepresentation.

[nilent]

@devancedonita The date of the video is June 8, the conference she spoke of is June 10. There are two different links in the description obviously referring to different things.

You are an anonymous person with an agenda, Dottie said what she said in public and I agree with the thrust of her remarks. And there is nothing inappropriate with copying the list of participants of the Rutgers conference to which she's obviously referring.

The video speaks for itself, in English. Nothing misleading.

@nilent I read the text. The event she is speaking about was sponsered by Rutgers University in June 2009. I am very familiar with it. By listing the participants of the RU conference in the text regarding this video is quite misleading.
