From the file of Dr. Virginia Rider
Excerpt from the Testimony of Miss Lee-Anne Blakeney, sophomore, Baines College for Women, to the Committee on Values and Moral Standards
Interview conducted by Arthur Burnside, Esq., Chief Counsel, Baines College for Women
Arthur Burnside: Were there any other instances that you recall Dr. Rider making you feel uncomfortable?
Lee-Anne Blakeney: Sometimes she touches your arm when she’s talking to you, or maybe she puts a hand on your back. Other girls have mentioned it, too.
AB: When she does, is it different than, say, what a mother or aunt might do?
LB: A little, maybe.
AB: More like what a man might do?
