 Time to talk Former Gopher tutor to meet with investigators

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The former University of Minnesota employee who says she wrote papers for men's basketball players will meet Thursday with lawyers investigating allegations of cheating. Jan Gangelhoff will go over at least 275 pieces of course work with two lawyers hired by the university, but she will not turn over her computer hard drive, said her attorney, Jim Lord. The meeting at Lord's Chanhassen office will be the first time Gangelhoff has met with officials looking into potential violations of NCAA rules and the university code of conduct. Last month, Gangelhoff said she did about 400 pieces of course work for players from 1993 to 1998, including four current players. Her sister and one other person also said they did work for players. "She will tell [investigators], to the best of her knowledge, what each paper is," Lord said. Lord also said Gangelhoff will take an oath before questioning begins and that she will answer any questions investigators have regarding her allegations. Gangelhoff has said coach Clem Haskins, his assistants and other university officials knew she was doing course work for players. Investigators wanted the hard drive, where files are stored on a computer, so they could positively identify when the documents were created, Lord said. But investigators since have learned that they can determine the date of creation using copied diskettes from her Macintosh computer, so they backed off that request, Lord said. Lord said he plans to make public the transcripts of Gangelhoff's interview.
