Dear UVM Community,
We are writing regarding student concerns about the sexual misconduct reporting process and support services. We hear you, and we recognize that giving voice to incidents of sexual misconduct is difficult. We commend those who have stood up and shared their stories.
To be absolutely clear, the University of Vermont does not tolerate sexual misconduct in any form, including sexual assault, relationship violence, gender-based stalking, sexual exploitation and sexual harassment, and is committed to responding in a holistic manner when such incidents are disclosed. We respect the rights of both parties to be fully and fairly heard, and to be supported as campus community members without pre-judgment.
Dear UVM Community Members,
As many of you are aware, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been on trial facing murder charges for the death of George Floyd. Yesterday marked the closing statements in the trial.
As we await a verdict, our attention and hearts are with Black, Brown, Indigenous and People of Color who continue to experience the heartbreak and violence of systemic racism in our country and in our communities.
There is no way to give full honor to the victims of racial injustices, and this is why we continue to work for justice and equity. At UVM, we strive to be in solidarity with our BIPOC community, and believe that Black lives matter.
