Editor's Note: UTSA President Taylor Eighmy and UTSA Interim Dean of Students LT Robinson sent this email to UTSA faculty, staff and students today.
(May 1, 2019) -- Dear Roadrunners,
Today a group of our students engaged in a demonstration that involved displaying the names of several UTSA students who have allegedly committed sexual assault.
Sexual violence in all its forms is deeply troubling, and we have a zero-tolerance approach to sexual assault at UTSA. We are writing to let you know that we are taking this situation very seriously, and to share our next steps.
Today’s demonstration provides an important reminder of just how critical our efforts are in this area, as emphasized by our campus-wide initiative on preventing sexual assault and misconduct and the many resources listed on our safe campus website. This year we’ve made meaningful strides in our ability to provide comprehensive prevention programming, and we are continuing to enhance the support resources available to students. In addition, next week we will provide information regarding the additional investigations conducted by our Equal Opportunity Services Office as an outcome of the Ice Miller report released last month.
As challenging and painful as this topic may be, it is our intent to continue to confront this issue head-on.
With Appreciation,
Taylor Eighmy LT Robinson
President Interim Dean of Students
