Stanford's response.

Once the family learns the evidence against their daughter, this matter may come to a swift resolution.

Everyone regards this as an unnecessary tragedy.[/quote]

What evidence against Katie?  Specifically?  What do you think Stanford knows that Katie’s family doesn’t about her “behavior”.  If you read the WaPo article and this thread, Stanford’s response contains exactly no new information. [/quote]

Not that poster, but the press release responds to all of the allegations in the complaint and sets forth both the opportunities Katie had to present evidence and the various types of assistance that were offered to her.  It also makes clear the allegation against her were far more serious than her parents represented.[/quote]

Please point to where it makes clear that the allegations against her are more serious than her parents represented. [/quote]

Her parents refer to it as spilt coffee, the Stanford press release refers to hot coffee that caused physical injury.  [/quote]

From the Stanford statement:

Stanford’s Office of Community Standards (OCS) received a complaint regarding alleged behavior by Katie that resulted in physical injury, and as is the practice of the office, it launched a review of that allegation. After extensive factfinding and the opportunity for both sides to provide information, it was found that the high threshold was met for the matter to proceed to a hearing. However, it is important to emphasize that we are committed to supporting students through the student judicial process under OCS, and we did so in this case. In particular, the university offered Katie an advisor to work with her throughout the process and told her she could have a support person of her choosing with her in any meeting or conversation with OCS.[/quote]

When did they offer these things? In November? Or in the 2/28 email? [/quote]
