What do you call it when someone "accepts" their accuser's version of the facts but "disputes" them at the same time? I'd call it typical ASHA double talk - and a very sleazy attempt on the part of ASHA to wriggle out of a very expensive legal battle that is draining ASHA's resources and further damaging their already shaky relationship with audiologists. Take a look at the latest ASHA brief from the ADA lawsuit. Note that this is the wording from ASHA's own legal brief:
"ASHA disputes the factual allegations asserted by Plaintiff in the Second Amended Complaint and will disprove them should this litigation proceed. However, ASHA acceptsHow about that bag of apples? ASHA disputes and accepts the allegations - all in the same paragraph! In other words, it sounds to me as if ASHA will agree that the ADA's charges are true if doing so will rescue ASHA's butt from this expensive public relations disaster, but that ASHA will dispute the charges if it won't! Whichever version of the truth costs less will be the one that ASHA admits to? This is morality determined by the "bottom line." How comforting to know that ASHA is monitoring the professional ethics of our profession! If ASHA had any character, it would either admit wrongdoing if it did wrong or fight this battle to the end if it didn't. That is, if ASHA had any character. As this blog has repeatedly shown, the version of ASHA presented by its propaganda periodical, The ASHA Leader, does not give the full picture of ASHA.
Plaintiff’s version of the facts as true for purposes of ASHA’s Motion to Dismiss." (bold added) Link
If ASHA admits to ADA's fraud allegations, we will never let it or its members forget it. ASHA will forever be known on this website as, "ASHA, which admitted in court in 2012 that it accepted charges that it committed fraud against its own members..."
