It says a lot about how bloated administration is. The gross disrespect to the students that an associate dean of DEI, not even the chancellor/president, or someone in the chancellor/president's inner circle wrote the letter. A written response to a mass shooting on campus was deemed so unimportant it got passed down the chain at least two or three times....think about that for a second.
I went to a similarly sized university - and when there was a mass shooting a few blocks from our campus (which sadly took the lives of a few students, but non-students were killed as well), the university president wrote the mass email that went out to everyone. Well, maybe someone under him probably did, but it still came from his address.
This woman should be fired immediately, but so should those above her. Absolutely disgusting.
- cool_dude85 4y agoThe mass shooting in this case was a thousand miles or so off campus in Michigan (Vanderbilt is in Nashville, TN).
- NickC25 4y agoMakes sense, but in such a case, why would a DE&I associate official comment about a shooting that happened at another school? Just sort of odd. If they did comment, why not someone who has the power to actually do something at Vanderbilt, and say something as simple as: "Hi students, in wake of the shooting at Michigan State, we are making any and all mental health and student support systems more available to our on-campus community. Our thoughts and prayers are with those in East Lansing, and the families of those affected by a senseless act of violence." Took me all of 27 seconds. Why does ChatGPT need to come into play to communicate to students?
