Senior Salute 2.0?

Within two days, we’ve learned of a reported sexual assault and a sexual conquest game that have taken place on St. Paul’s campus – sound familiar?

In light of Owen Labrie and the ‘Senior Salute’, yet again there is documentation of predatory sexual behavior at St. Paul’s. Sadly, we are not surprised that these behaviors and crimes persist at the school today. When school administrators fail to adequately address the toxic culture that enables sexual violence, all students are at risk. There is work to be done at St. Paul’s in order to ensure the safety of its students and to change the long-standing culture that turns a blind eye to sexual assault.

We ask you to stand with all victims that have been impacted by sexual violence at St. Paul’s School and sign this petition to call on school officials to immediately disclose the result of their investigation and outline their plan to prevent future sexual assaults and sexual conquest games on their campus.

Thank you for taking action to effect change! The safety and well being of the students at St. Paul's is just as important as those who are educated in inner city ghettos. "Elite" education should be defined as how well an institution prioritizes the safety and wellbeing of their students and protects them from sexual improprieties at the hands of students and faculty alike.

Courage or complicity? It is time for transparency and accountability - and the school has not only shown, but admitted, that they have placed their reputation and endowment over the safety and well being of the children under their care. Thanks to all who sign, please pass on to your network!

As the only St. Paul's faculty member, past and present, to speak out, I sign this petition and charge the school with a total failure to protect their students. If the school claims (however emptily) a church affiliation, then might they be so good as to tell us of how their actions and clumsy coverups are consonant and consistent with any Gospel teaching?

What a painful gap between the promised greatness of the elite education at this institution and the reality of a culture where sexual conquest games are ignored or condoned! We must do all we can to assure that our education institutions hew to the highest standards of awareness and integrity.

I attended the Advanced Studies Program at St. Paul's. You have a responsibility to be transparent with these sorts of things, and take action to resolve them. We didn't sit in your little church listening to you talk about what is right and pleases God to let you get away with covering this up to protect your reputation. Take responsibility and practice what you preach.

This was handled so absurdly by the school which is a follow up attack on these victims of sexual assault. Outrageous!
