of earlier understandings, had warned that Smith and Atkins-Ingram should not travel to Garden City expecting the college to share its purported internal administrative review of the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smith added that &#8220;it is no longer clear that a report of the internal review &#8212; that you and I discussed on the phone &#8212; even exists.&#8221; Smith reiterated his call for release of the internal review and for Garden City to commit to commissioning an independent investigation by outside experts, similar to the one undertaken by the University of Maryland last year following the exertional heat stroke death of football player Jordan McNair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;When you are ready, when you have a clear consensus that GCCC can be transparent, we will eagerly reschedule,&#8221;
