"I'm Very Busy"

Kelly visits Professor Smith to ask for a recommendation letter for college transfer. Professor Smith notes that Kelly is very upset. Kelly explains that an instructor, Dr. Dana, has offered to regrade a few assignments, if Kelly performs a sex act.

After talking about it for a few minutes, Kelly decides to file a sexual harassment complaint. Professor Smith tells Kelly, "If you do this, I'll be asked to testify. I'm very busy, so if I'm caught up in this I might not be able to write that letter you need."
