Attack 'prejudiced' claims Harrison

Salient's Association Reporter, Denis Phelps, has been accused of making "a personal and prejudiced attack" on Public Relations Officer, Rhys Harrison.

Rhys, whose resignation takes effect on June 13, told Salient:

I was interested to read the criticism levelled against me by Mr Phelps in last week's Salient.

One expects a reasonable degree of objectivity in reports of Executive proceedings and criticism is always warranted where it will prove constructive.

However, I feel Mr Phelps' remarks were . . . no more than a personal and prejudiced attack on myself.

It was very noble of Mr Phelps, who holds no official position on Executive, to allow me "another chance' regarding Open Day.

However, in view of the scathing tone of his column. Mr Phelps' remark seems to be only a patronizing gesture.
