It would appear that I will be allowed to return to work at the start of the new year, with my good name cleared. Apparently my outstanding character references and a well establish history of the accuser engaging in such low brow tactics have convinced the university board of directors that I am an innocent party.

Sadaharu, shall we celebrate?
