Council VP Calls for Vote on Winthrop Master

"I do the best job I can for every student at Winthrop House...and that includes Brandon Gregoire," Mobley said early in the evening.

The senior tutor could not be reached for comment late last night on the allegation that he talked about Gregoire after the student left the meeting.

Hanson said Gregoire is refusing to meet with him, despite repeated requests.

"He's talking to everybody except the ones with whom he's having a difference of opinion," the master said. "I fervently wish that he would be willing to sit down and talk to me. I am not a closed-minded individual."

Hanson also defended Mobley.

"I've never met a senior tutor more committed to his students," the house master said.

Both Hanson and Mobley also noted that the issue of holiday decorations has already been resolved. The house meeting endorsed the policy earlier decided by the house committee.

"I don't really understand what the problem continues to be, because we're going to do what the house committee wants," Mobley said.

Gregoire said he plans to picket Winthrop House, even if his complaint to Jewett and Epps produces results. Gregoire said he will also request that his student files be removed from Winthrop, and said he "doesn't really have confidence" in Mobley as a recommender for law school applications.

Epps said he was surprised at Gregoire's request that his files be removed.

"Goodness. That's pretty extreme," Epps said. "We would first want to review what's going on there."

Gregoire said Epps did not return his repeated phone calls yesterday
