I would like to give many thanks to Ms. Tang for giving more details about the case. The very details of all the facts I had mentioned in the previous post are obvious in her reviews; there is no need for me to repeat them anymore. In addition, more facts are uncovered in the posts, including the History Department’s bias in handling her appeal.

There are some that claim that the details of the case at hand are not facts. If this is so, then what exactly is a fact? The exact time and date; a detailed description of the event with the original dialogue and letters of the people involved in the case: these are not facts? These fine points are indeed facts, even by definition. The American Heritage College dictionary defines a fact as “knowledge or information based on real occurrences”. The occurrences specified by Ms. Tang’s collection of personal entries and original sources are exactly that: they are primary-source knowledge and information of an occurrence that was real enough to affect a student in such a way that he/she rose up in an attempt to gain justice.

Before you comment, I would like to remind you that Ms. Tang had already laid the focus and the whole progress of the case for you to review. If you have not done so, I request that you review Zihui Tang’s complete case before you make a comment.

Though the idea of a lawyer is probably the most logical and effective course of action to take, Ms. Tang has also given us the information that she enrolled at Duke University with the aid of a scholarship. Students who enter college or university on a scholarship usually don’t have a great amount of money to spend. After all, why would they need a scholarship if they have the money they need to pay for their education? I do not doubt that Ms. Tang’s best option is a lawyer; however, I do doubt that she has enough money to pay for one.

On another note, it has been stated that Ms. Tang’s student visa will expire soon. This does not leave her much time left to deal with this case. A great majority of lawsuits take months and sometimes even years to settle. However, because Ms. Tang does not have the required amount of time to settle a lawsuit using a hired lawyer, the use of a lawyer will have limited results.
