Precisely.  And that is why Michael needs to check out whatever
official University policy there may be, and then seek competent
local legal counsel.  If the University official in charge of this
kind of thing there has delegated this level of authority, then,
he may not have a choice...except to follow (was it Dave's?)
advice to give her the password and then change it.

However, on my bookshelf, it sits behind the King James...
I also have a book on potato processing.(Oops!  I forgot the Dan Quayle
memorial "e"!)  Right smack dab in the middle of the philosophy
section, between Spinoza and Thomas Aquinas.  Just can't resist
making trouble.

Best.
