That is one lucky professor -- how did she get granted an exception? There are tons of unlucky people who suffer as a result of bad/shoddy/vague reporting, how do they also get a carve-out?

In my case, nobody was actually malicious. It was a stupid situation caused by the stupid actions of both sides from what I've been able to discover. Nobody meant to cause harm but to tell their own story. I tried to find a compromise that would work for everyone and it worked this time.

Like many people who get exceptions. They asked.
