I certainly know that I wasn't involved.

I was kind of agreeing with the Prof. until this qoute:

Anyone using IT as an excuse in all this ought to be tarred and feathered.

If the system was crap then people will have noticed long ago, and said something.

One real cause is that there were several whistle-blowers, and they informed the very top people, but they were forcibly shut-up.

For at least one whistleblower, they not only smeared her rep, they initiated a social services investigation into her own daughter, which could allow those she blew the whistle on to have her daughter taken away from her.

Yes, some seriously evil bastards on both sides of the desk there. Well, one lot is in jail, the other lot should at least lose their jobs, immediately.
