President Pelton addresses Emerson community

Emerson President Lee Pelton addressed the community on October 9, 2013:

Dear Emerson Community,

No doubt, many of you have read or heard about a recent article in the Huffington Post regarding a complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights alleging that Emerson College’s handling of sexual assaults violates the federal gender equity law Title IX. While privacy considerations prevent me from commenting on the specific contents of the article, there is, nevertheless, much that I can and wish to say.
