Consistency is a factor lending to the credibility of students who made complaints against a charging party. Charging party’s testimony disputing student complaints raises doubts when his testimony was brief, conclusory, and only elicited during cross-examination, he made no effort to elaborate further either in re-direct examination or in his case in rebuttal, and his limited testimony gave no factual basis for disbelieving the students’ complaints.
