Second witness testifies in hearing
1991 law school graduate says Tonkovich used grades to pressure her into oral sex
By Lynne McAdoo and KC Trauer
Kansan staff writers
A 1991 KU School of Law graduate yesterday testified that law professor Emil Tonkovich used comments about grades to pressure her into performing oral sex.
In the second day of dismissal hearings for Tonkovich, Tammee McVey said that after a party in the summer of 1988, Tonkovich intimidated her boss with an axe at a campus parking lot and two cars later made two harassing phone calls.
Lisa Ford, Tonkovich's attorney denied McVey performed oral sex for the law professor.
McVey testified that she waited to voice her complaint to Robert Jerry,
dean of the law school, until the day after she graduated because she feared retaliation from Tonkovich.
She first supplied a written statement about the alleged harassment to Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs, on Aug. 21, 1991.
McVey testified that in July 1988, her first year in law school, she was invited to a classmate's party, where Tonkovik was also a guest. At the party, McVey talked at length with Tonkovik outside and later inside the apartment, she said.
Tonkovich conducted McVey's cross-examination and used that time to attempt to rebut McVey's testimony. Questioning her account of the party, he referred to two affidavits from students at the party that stated
McVey flirted with Tonkovich throughout the evening. She denied the students' allegations.
McVey said that when she left the party to go home. Tonkovich walked her to her car and asked whether grades were important to her.
"It made me feel uncomfortable that it was talking about grades with me. Mr.
McVey said that Tonkovich asked her whether she wanted to go for a ride in his car and that she accepted the offer. She said that Tonkovich took her to the parking lot behind Carruth-O'Leary Hall and that then they walked to Potter Lake.
"Walking down the steps, he put his arm around me." she said I felt uncomfortable. "It was a pain."
thing, I didn't want to make any waves. I did not want to offbem."
During their walk, Tonkovich talked about grades at two separate occasions and also kissed her, McVey said.
MVeay said that after they got back in the car, Tonkovich unzipped his pants, pulled out his penis and said, "don't you do something for me?"
McVeyten said, "I didn't think I had any choice. We had talked about grades and then it all just kind of chicked in my head. In the few seconds we were talking, I told that I was feeling a corner and I didn't have any choice."
She also testified that while she was performing feliatio, Tonkovich put his hand down her pants.
Tonkovich said that there were discrepancies between McVey's testimony yesterday, her written statement submitted to Brinkman and an April 23 Kansan article that featured her allegation.
Tonkovich, who last week accused McVey of having an "ever-changing" story, said that McVey's written statement did not include some details of her testimony, including her accusation that he put his hand down her pants. Through questioning, Tonkovich established that McVey also did not write anything about a walk to and from Potter Lake.
The Kansan article also did not include the part of her allegation detailing the walk to Potter Lake and which putting his hand down her pants.
McVey said her written statement had merely summarized her allegation. She said she did not give all the details because she thought it was not necessary and because she was humiliated and embarrassed about what had happened.
Tonkovich alleged through questioning that McVey had made additions to her original statement to bolster an otherwise implausible story. McVey testified that one night in
September 1988, Tonkovich telephoned her asking to see her at her home. She said she refused.
He called ten minutes later and again asked to come over, this time suggesting they go for a drive, she said. She again refused, and he hung
After Tonkovich completed his cross-examination, two members of the Tenure and Related Problems Committee asked McVey questions.
McVey told E.P. Johnsman, professor of educational psychology and research, that she had not received in the past 5 years any training from the Office of Affirmative Action.

John Michel, professor of speech-
language-hearing, asked McVey why she
theled her story to the Kansan and
the Kansas City Star.
"I went out of frustration with the administrative process," she said. "It seemed the University was trying to sweep the whole issue of sexual harassment under the rug."

North Carolina State's first victory left coach Dick Sheridan with an especially satisfying feeling, and not just because it was the Wolfback's season opener.
The 24-14 victory over Iowa in the Kickoff Classic on Saturday night pushed N.C. State into the first regular-season Associated Press college football poll. The Wolfpack, unranked in the preseason poll, moved into the 18th slot, while Iowa fell seven spots to No. 23.
"Obviously it's always great to start the season with a win, especially against the team the quality of Iowa," Sheridan said. "The fact that it was in the Kickoff Classic made it more satisfying.
"I now look at the rest of our schedule as the start of our season, except that we have a bonus win already."
Texas & A&M remained No. 7 after defeating Stanford 10.7 in the season-opening Pigskin game.
There were no changes at the top of the poll, where Miami, Washington and Notre Dame continued to hold down the first three spots.
Miami received 43 first-place votes and 1,516 points from a nationwide panel of sportwriters and broadcasters. Washington got nine first-place votes and 1,458 points, while Notre Dame received five first-place votes and 1,404 points.
Miami, Washington and Notre Dame play their openers Saturday.
