We also corresponded with Prof. Faletti by presenting evidence that discusses Ms. Romo’s responsibilities as Minister of Government when she ordered the repression of those protesting President Lenín Moreno’s austerity measures. Ultimately, Professor Falleti informed us that she plans to uphold Ms. Romo’s appointment. Yet, despite corresponding with us, Prof. Faletti is simultaneously masking Ms. Romo’s status through having pulled down Ms. Romo’s Visiting Scholar page from CLALS’s website, refusing to respond to a<span> </span></span><a shape="rect" href="https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.change.org%2Fp%2Fpennlaw-rechazo-a-la-asignaci%25C3%25B3n-de-mar%25C3%25ADa-paula-romo-como-profesora-en-la-universidad-de-pensilvania&data=04%7C01%7Cjulie.gamble%40trincoll.edu%7C555a70d35f314c26e35508d99c86da58%7Ca6cda06a52d94672ae1ff6f9c9f14e37%7C0%7C0%7C637712925278055734%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=CXvTiMSsLZKAkXXEYtLSKcY2RljJbkC6hOfvr8Oyc%2Bw%3D&reserved=0" style="color:rgb(5,99,193);" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">change.org</span></a><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span> </span>petition with more than 10,000 signers, and ignoring the active Twitter campaign against this appointment that has largely happened from Ecuador.
