Understandably the recent events initially raised the specter of a repeat occurrence. There does not appear to be a link between the recent calls and the earlier call. The prompt response of the IMSA community demonstrates its commitment to the development and maintenance of an ethical environment. IMSA's Mission Statement includes the development of ethical leaders. No educational institution can reach that goal alone.
Ethics start at home.
I would encourage parents to continue to communicate with their students on the issue of respect for their fellow students and on the inappropriateness and illegality of harassment. As reported in an article earlier in this newsletter, there have been a number of students suspended this academic year for alcohol and drug use. This is another topic of conversation with your student. There are any number of adults at IMSA who can help both you and the IMSA student. Information provided to IMSA's social workers is strictly confidential in nature.
