I do not need to handle anything like that.

Once again, not my problem.

Another thing I do not worry about.

I am not even sure I understand the question.

Once again not an issue I try to deal with.

Is that not an issue for the assignor?

What is the University panel? I have never heard of such thing.

It sounds like you have a lot of issues where you are. And it sounds like you are trying to control people that you have no right to control. Unless you are speaking as an assignor or evaluator, I really do not know how you could handle anyone but tell them the truth or take games away. It sound like you got too much involved in feelings of individual officials.

Peace
