Make no mistake, Rice is taking this very seriously. As a parent of a current soph, we are on top of the communication about this with our student. She is very grateful for the admins taking this so seriously. Even to the point of being with one of the members of SJP who sent Dean Gorman a message and immediately got a response back that she had cleared her schedule to have discussions. There aren’t many universities that react so strongly to an opinion piece in their campus newspaper. So grateful my daughter attends a university that listens to its students! Like many have stated before, this is not unique to Rice, the difference is Rice students know they have a voice and are using it.
