A woman who applied for medical school was granted an interview; one interview was conducted by a faculty member who asked extremely inappropriate questions. Among them were: Where is your dad from? What year did he immigrate to the United States? Where is your mom from? You really are exotic, aren’t you? What kind of current events do you stay updated on? What is your religion? Who are the Taliban? Why did the U.S. go into Afghanistan? Why didn’t the U.S. bomb Saudi Arabia? Most people from Middle Eastern countries are Islamic. Are you? Why do most people view Islam as oppressive toward women? Upon returning home, the woman sent a complaint letter to the school about the interview with this particular faculty member. She requested reimbursement for her travel expenses as well as a written apology from the faculty member. The university has offered her a reimbursement if she signs a general release of claims, but they have not issued a written apology. What protections are provided for this woman if I send a very strongly worded letter? How could my letter impact this woman as an applicant for other medical schools? What would you recommend in this case?

I am having a website built, and the developer has not completed the work according to the contract and much of what is done is totally unacceptable. When there were two days of their not returning my calls, I posted on JustAnswer and was advised to send them a certified letter. In the meanwhile, they have uploaded some inventory in a most disorganized manner, and it is a disaster. The person who is the head of the company is not doing the actual work, but another person in India. The worker from India just emailed me indicating that the programming is completed. I am about to send this email to the head of the company, and I want advice first: Programming completed? This is beyond belief. Have you looked at the website? Data is thrown up there in a haphazard manner, no photos, empty categories, duplicated pathways, incomplete inventory, no photos for whole categories, and your email says 'Programming Completed'. This is totally unacceptable. If your employees do not have the knowledge or capability to complete this project you need to let me know immediately so that I can find someone who can.
