Our protests over being sacked as a
host family resulted in this “thank you and
goodbye” letter from DIS’ director (translated):
"DIS
has the responsibility for the students staying with a host family. Our
relationship to the Danish host families is based upon unconditional
trust to the positive character of this.
The claim we have received about you cast doubt at the character of
your behavior in relationship to our female students. The tone used in
your letter underlines to me the legitimacy of our doubt.
When doubt of this sort has been sown, we do not want to continue the
partnership. We do not take a stand in relationship to the claim, even
if it appears unpleasantly credible.
We do not, therefore, want to use you as a host family in the future and
see no reason to meet any more about this case."

We have never met the author of the letter,
so we do not think he knows us!
How
can an accusation become credible when you have no evidence and you do not know anything about
the accused?
The “kind” letter from DIS’ director
has left us with a few questions:
What
was the exact accusation? Rape?
When
was it supposed to have happened?(The
first night she slept in our house, the last night or just during which
of the four months she stayed with us?)
Under which circumstances was the accusation raised?
- and why?
Who has e-mailed the accusation? D?
Has D been told about our rejection of it?
If yes - has D dropped the accusation?
How has the case been closed against D?
In which way was the American Embassy informed? Letter, e-mail?
DIS has refused to answer any of them!
All the information about the accusation has been handled via e-mails,
so it could be a case for the Danish Data Protection Agency.
We were left with no other choice than asking the
Agency for assistance. They dealt with it for more than
2½ years.
DIS
was not very cooperative.
After appealing their decision the Agency
decided that DIS
should
have let us see the e-mails at our first request 3 years ago!
Bravo!
But
what happened before the final decision was reached?
You
are right!
All the information we wanted
access to had "regrettably" disappeared from two separate files simultaneously!
It
happened about the same time the Agency disclosed the existence of the
files

Does DIS really take its
responsibilities seriously?
Three female architect students preferred to
do their month-long projects on our dining table.
For some reason they did not want to do
their projects in the
stimulating environment of the DIS studio.
One gave sexual harassment as a reason
for staying away from the DIS studio.
For some reason, DIS did not do anything
about it!
Is the accusation against us just
a show case?
After having analyzed
the circumstances more closely the explanation appears
to be:
DIS is under some form for pressure
to support the false accusation against us!
Pressure from whom?
We don't know!
