DePaul twists the truth on Klocek case

This response by DePaul president Dennis H. Holtschneider to the Jay Ambrose column about the Thomas Klocek case was published two days ago in the Rocky Mountain News.

The response is pretty much the same letter and e-mail DePaul has been sending out to, and they've used this word, "clarify" the Klocek case.

I've picked the response a part a bit, now I'm going to hammer on this sentence from the Rocky Mountain News letter from Holtschneider.

"Then he hired a publicist in an attempt to exert pressure to secure the financial settlement. "

Wrong. I've confirmed this with both the publicist Professor Klocek himself. The publicisit is working for Professor Klocek's law firm.

Klocek has not "hired" a publicist. DePaul of course has a full time media relations department trying to portray him in less-than-credible manner.
