Zaki agreed he had written the posts and that they were unprofessional. He then made five attempts to write an apology letter regarding the posts, none of which were deemed satisfactory.

“Your fifth apology lacked sincerity, as no evidence of any personal exploration or self-examination of any of your attitudes was provided,” the 2019 expulsion decision states, according to court documents. “Further, you continued to apologize for the impact your article had on readers, suggesting it was their fault for being offended.”

This is why you don't apologize. It will not be enough. It will NEVER be enough.

The judge found the process was largely fair, except when it came to a perception of bias on behalf of the decision-makers. And that, the judge concluded, was because of the role played by (((Dr. Ira Ripstein))), the associate dean of undergraduate medical education, who was involved not just in the medical college’s decision to expel Zaki, but also in the final decision to affirm the expulsion.

“(Zaki) describes Dr. Ripstein as serving multiple roles including investigator, prosecutor and judge. That is a fair description,” the judge wrote.

When Zaki entered the appeals process, Ripstein was involved, writing a “lengthy, comprehensive and powerful written submission” to the next committee, arguing in favour of expulsion, and saying that “views based on misogyny and hate cannot be accommodated or condoned by the (medical school) program.” The committee dismissed Zaki’s appeal.

Also, the University has a (((Progress Committee))). That hardly sounds Orwellian at all, right? Guys?
