Professor Kingsley

Belvoire University has been pleased with his/her work over the past few years and hopes he/she will do them proud at the conference.

In Chapter 16, when the photo of you two holding hands at Martha's Vineyard hits 'The T', Dean Steinhelm is livid. During the summer, she emails him/her informing him/her that the school is placing him/her on administrative leave and that they will be conducting a disciplinary hearing before the school board.

In Book 2, Chapter 1, she tells Professor Kingsley that he/she will not be fired today. He/she has made immense contributions to Belvoire University and she would like to give him/her another chance. However, if Kingsley is seen with you in the future, he/she will be fired.

Your Character
In Book 1, Chapter 2, when you are accused of being a cheater, you receive a letter from the Dean's office stating that while they will not act on unproven claims, they have zero tolerance for cheaters. In Chapter 3, Zoey says that the Dean is a smart woman and will see through any false claims. In Chapter 9, she suggests to Professor Kingsley that he/she take you to the anthropology conference.

In Book 2, Chapter 1, with the picture taken of you and Professor Kingsley holding hands poolside at the anthropology conference, Dean Steinhelm calls you both for a meeting to discuss your futures. Regardless of the status of your relationship with Professor Kingsley - whether it be purely professional or intimate in nature, she fires you from your position as Professor Kingsley's TA and states that if you two are caught together again, you will be expelled.
