“We haven’t received too much information yet on steps being taken internally to assure that this doesn’t happen again, and just recognize, you know, this isn’t something to dismiss, and it hasn’t been, which is incredible, so we’re just looking to see what next steps are and then how we can advocate for that change to be made, and make sure education is based around those discussions and not dismissing experiences.”
