Content Warning: Sexual Assault

Dear Larner Community,

In light of the concerns voiced by students across campus over the past week regarding the University's sexual assault prevention, reporting and survivor support services, we wish to underscore the University’s clear position that sexual harassment, sexual assault, gender-based stalking, relationship violence, and all other forms of sexual misconduct are prohibited at UVM and at the Larner College of Medicine.
 
UVM’s Provost, Vice Provost for Student Affairs, and Title IX Coordinator have committed to working directly with students to enhance prevention measures and skilled support resources, as outlined in the attached.  LCOM’s students can play a pivotal role in these conversations and actions, and we look forward to facilitating that engagement.
 
We wish to assure our community that if there are specific connections to the College that come to light, we are committed to providing a full range of support and information about response options available to the affected parties. We are further committed to respecting the individual agency of those involved in determining how they wish to move forward. We are, as physicians and biomedical scientists, committed to healing, and helping individuals impacted by sexual misconduct with care and support. This is consistent with our College being signatory to TIMES UP Health Care, and our collective commitment to Our Common Ground. 

Sincerely,

Richard L. Page, M.D.
Dean

Christa H. Zehle, M.D.
