Reports that leaders of prominent institutions actively concealed — or failed to address — allegations of sexual abuse serve as a sad reminder of the lengths some people will go to protect the reputations of institutions at the expense of the safety of their members.
The Hotchkiss School in Salisbury released an internal investigation Friday that detailed allegations that seven former faculty and staff members had sexually abused students — and that school officials covered it up.
School administrators “inadequately responded to sexual misconduct by faculty members,” the report states, in the name of protecting the school’s reputation.
The victims include 16 students, some of whom endured years of abuse. The scope of it is shocking.
