An Important Update

An email message sent to 亚洲博彩网站 students, faculty, and staff on December 31, 2024:

Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,

I am writing to share news that you may have read about in a recent media story. Earlier this month,theUniversity filed criminal charges against a groupofstudents after a thorough investigation into a reportofdeeply troubling behavior.

This behaviorthecharges describe was abhorrent. This was not a prank; it was a crime. It also violated 亚洲博彩网站’s deepest values. As a Catholic university, we are committed tothetruth that every human person is made intheimageofGod and is imbued with inherent dignity.Thevictim deserved to be treated with that dignity. Every memberofour community, as well as guests we welcome, does as well.

Our campus police, working closely with other Universityoffices, acted swiftly uponthereportofthebehavior.They conducted a thorough investigation, withtheutmost concern forthevictim, leadingthem to file criminal charges againstthestudents involved. In addition,theUniversity has initiated its own student conduct investigations, and disciplinary processes are underway.

While we are unable to comment onthespecificsofthese ongoing cases, I want to make one thing abundantly clear: 亚洲博彩网站 is committed to ensuring a campus environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Violence and misconduct in any form have no place in our community.

This incident reminds usofthecritical importanceofour shared responsibility to upholdthevalues that define our University. Let us work recommit ourselves to treating every human person with dignity.

Sincerely,

Greg Weiner, Ph.D.
President
