Written closing argument for the complainants was originally due November 28. The parties agreed to new deadlines, and the Complainants’ final submissions are now due January 30, 2026.
Yesterday, we heard testimony from UBC’s witness Vi Addams, an administrator with the History Department with extensive experience throughout the University, particularly its financial systems. As frequently occurred with prior witnesses, Mx. Addams testified about relevant documents never disclosed to us and had to go search and produce them, and there was a little delay while they did that and while Clea reviewed the documents. However, this did not delay completing their testimony. They testified about money the University paid to Dmitry Mordvinov in the course of his time there, as well as about how money flows through UBC in a practical sense and the records it keeps about that. Mx. Addams completed their testimony in the afternoon.
No further witnesses will be called nor documents admitted. The evidentiary portion of the case is over.
The complainants will submit our written closing arguments on November 28, 2025. The University will submit its reply January 16, 2026. The complainants’ response to UBC’s reply will be due February 6, 2026.
Chad Hyson’s testimony is complete, and the final UBC witness will testify on August 6, 2025.
From April 22 through April 25, 2025, Chad Hyson finished his direct examination and the vast majority of his Mordvinov Class cross examination. Some cross examination related to the General Class took place. We will finish Hyson in the next round of hearing dates, and then UBC will call its last witness, an administrator.
Earlier this month, Robbie Morrison completed his testimony and Chad Hyson completed his direct examination. The next Hearing dates are April 22 through April 25. I briefly go over the next steps in the process, which are written closing arguments.
