"We are not going to debate" might not be the best phrasing but that's the
important idea to convey. How would you phrase it differently?

How about "Any further debate will not change the original decision, but may, if
a convincing argument is put, cause the Administration to consider actions which
may (fully or partially) undo a previous decision"?

That does not specify whether or not Admins will take part in any debate, but
does make it plain that arguments arising from admin decisions will always be
considered. The current wording does not give any such assurance.

Wow.  You're right Ross, that is worded much better.  That reminds me, I
probably shouldn't be posting this right now without my lawyer being present.
There might be some minor misunderstanding that prompts endless accusations at
my character and my ability to be understanding and appreciative of criticism.

(...) I'm not sure exactly which part you're referring to so I'll just look at the last paragraph. I agree debate is not going to change the initial decision, but it CAN point out fallacies in the decision process that could lead ANOTHER decision (...)
