Dr. Cheryl Tina Fae Cotton and President Henry Cotton denounce in the most strong terms the false accusations against them concerning their treatment of the 15 staff who manage their Willard College presidential housing. At no time were staff asked to work without pay, outside of regular work hours, or to engage in dangerous or degrading tasks like picking through the household garbage to determine if any recycling had been accidently placed in the garbage receptacles or changing out a gas line without proper authorization from the city. They also deny the charge that staff were required to trim, buff, or paint the toe nails of either of them. They also deny verbally abusing kitchen staff after a less than fantastic dinner last weekend.
