NOTE: it was pointed out to me that campus investigations in the US can not find ‘guilt’ as they aren’t a court of law — the wording has therefore been changed to ‘substantiated claims of’ for accuracy/legal reasons.

The open letter has been sent to @SAAorg directly. Thank you to everyone who has signed (and please continue to do so!). Will keep you updated on any developments.

The events at the conference and the open letter have been covered by @insidehighered here: insidehighered.com/news/2019/04/1…

Also, please....
- remember not to edit the body of the letter (DM me if you think something needs to be changed!)
- be patient if you’ve messaged me, I have a lot to get through!
- do not seek out my private social media accounts (e.g. fb) when you can contact me on here 💖💖

Response from @SAAorg:

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The exec director of @SAAorg wishes to contact each people who signed the letter individually (see screenshot).

If you would *like* to be contacted, either add your email next to your name on the letter, or DM it to me and I will compile a list to send.

(*Personally* I am not overly keen on the use of "thoughtful" and "appreciative" as if responding to serious complaints and concerns as the exec director is some kind of favour but...)

I replied to say that I would forward any emails I was sent, but that I believe that nothing short of implementing all the demands on the open letter would even begin to restore peoples trust in SAA.
