Patricia McGuire, president of Trinity Washington University (DC), writes: But colleges and their leaders are, indeed, responsible and accountable for what happens to students on our campuses. Presidents must step up immediately to take ownership of a crisis, not hide behind lawyers and boards and statements crafted by image consultants. Presidents must put care and concern for the student victims first, passionately so, and must express that in genuine and immediate outreach. Mitigating legal damages should not be the first instinct, but rather finding ways to heal the physical and emotional wounds of those who suffered so much at the hands of college personnel.
