Mr Luker, my understanding is that Emory's decision on Bellesiles' appeal is due October 23-24? I base this opinion on the timelime prescribed in Emory's procedures for a formal investigation:(Source:http://www.osp.emory.edu/share/policies/misconduct.html )

1) Next 30 days: Prelim investigation to be done
2) Next 30 days: Dean is to consider prelim results and decide whether to initiate formal investigation:
--- April 25--Emory announces formal investigation a little more than 60 days after Feb 7
