"I would like to have everything [concerning the tutors] stay the same," Liem said. "Otherwise it's not fair for the people involved."

David Bear '92, who said he strongly considered resigning this week, planned on filing a formal complaint with Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles. He decided not to file the complaint after speaking with Jewett yesterday.

"I'm very unhappy with the atmosphere, the layering of lie after lie by the people involved," Bear said. "There is a lot of dishonesty brought on this house by Vince Li, Karel and Hetty, and somebody owes Dunster an apology."

Bear said Liem tried to cover up Li's involvement in his brother's hiring when the master told him at a meeting that Li was not present at a student interview.

Liem said he did not know Vincent was at the interview because his wife, Hetty, had asked Vincent to be present without telling him.

But Bear said Hetty Liem was "at the entire meeting" when he asked Karel Liem about Vincent's role. Liem acknowledged Hetty was present for part of the meeting, but said she was not there when Bear asked about Vincent.

"Again, I don't really know," Liem said. "There are so many meetings and I have no idea."

Liem said he had been in contact with Jewett about the situation since an open meeting he held last Wednesday. But Liem said Jewett made no recommendations or suggestions. "He's just a good listener," Liem said.

Jewett declined to comment on his conversations with Dunster officials yesterday, calling them "private communications.
