Well, it has been over 30 years, so it's quite possible that at a certain point the principals involved were no longer prohibited from talking about it.
I was merely paraphrasing Carter Wiseman's book on Pei (from 1991) and other sources I've read over the years (mostly in the early to mid-90's) that all said that the findings and liabilities were kept private.
Nonetheless...problem solved now...
BTW, who was your professor? (I'm just curious)
