"We now know that there was a troubling delay in acting on this information, and specifically in evaluating it for notification to the community. This has highlighted for me the gray area in our processes when reports come into RSVP, and the challenge of marrying a highly confidential support service, which may have limited details, with the need to inform and warn the community."Protests on USC’s fraternity row tonight where a sexual assault case is under investigation.
However,"on September 30, 2021, based on the nature of the concerns, RSVP made an exceptional decision to share a general summary of the information, while still maintaining the confidentiality of the individuals, with DPS, Student Health, Student Affairs, and the office of Campus Wellbeing and Crisis Intervention," Folt wrote.
"We recognize that it was upsetting to receive this information late in the evening, but once we determined that it raised serious and ongoing concerns about campus safety, we wanted to get the information to our community. We are examining how to better convey information like this in the future," Folt wrote.
"Such behaviors are deeply disturbing, they hurt people and go against everything we stand for as a community," Folt wrote in an email to the USC community at that time."We are sorry for the pain and anguish this is causing."
