[1964Alum]

There is still so much we don't know. For one thing, we don't know what Ederly wrote and the Rolling Stone published was Jackie's actual account to her or if it was Ederly's embellishment to make a more spectacular and attention-grabbing story.

Both UVA and the office of the Attorney General of Virginia have initiated investigations, the findings of which have as yet to be released. Additionally, the President of UVA has convened an ad hoc committee comprised of alums, faculty, and student representatives which include members of the GLOs on campus to address the problems which have been revealed with students coming forward with their own stories as a result of the RS story. The president of the Inter Sorority council is a committee member. As reported in the Cavalier Daily and elsewhere, President Sullivan has found the ideas generated within this committee, especially from students, to be very good and workable ones.

UVA students, faculty, alums, and community members are very proud of their school, and are focused on correcting flaws in the system that have failed many.

It should also not be lost on anyone that President Sullivan initiated talks with some of the fraternities -including the one mentioned in the RS article- last spring, well before the RS article appeared. The school is also but one of 12 that will be intensely investigated under the Title IX requirements. Also WELL before the RS article.

Now back to my regularly-scheduled program, which in my case is the magnificent DVD of The Three Tenors Christmas Concert filmed in Vienna, Austria in 1999.
