The investigator contracted by the Review'sboard of trustees, Boston attorney Ralph D. Gants'76, would neither confirm nor deny yesterday ifhe had received the alleged letter.

"I'm not going to comment on thecorrespondences involved with the investigation,"he said.

Jones said she told other Review editors abouther discussion with Schulman because "I thoughtthey should know what had happened."

Another Review editor, who spoke on conditionof anonymity, said yesterday that she heardthatSchulman's lawyer had written a letterregarding an anti-Semitic charge. The editor saidshe didn't see Schulman involved in the argumentTuesday, but she said "it may very well havehappened."

The dispute over charges of anti-Semitism isthe latest development in the ongoing probe of theReview president.

The controversy began at a September 30 staffmeeting when four Black women editors chargedSchulman of racism.

According to some third-year editors, Schulmansaid that allowing a Black woman to edit anarticle written by Assistant Professor of LawCharles J. Ogletree Jr., who is Black, "would be adisaster."

Some editors also alleged that Schulmandiscouraged a female classmate from seeking toadvance in the Law Review hierarchy, because thatwould mean "too many women in leadershippositions."

Schulman has repeatedly denied accusations thatshe made the racist and sexist comments.

On October 4, the staff took an unprecedentedvote of "no confidence" in Schulman. The voteended in a tie, with Schulman voting for herself.

In November, the Review's board of trusteescontracted Gants, the special investigator, toexamine the charges.

A decision was to have been reached bymid-December.

But Gants, who has met with Schulman's attorneyand the attorney of the four Black third-yeareditors said "that timetable had to bere-evaluated.
