This morning, the Association of American Universities released the findings of its comprehensive survey about sexual assault and misconduct on college campuses. Washington University was one of 27 institutions to participate. The data provide important insight that will strengthen our efforts to address this serious challenge. The survey results, and the university’s commitment to curtailing sexual assault and misconduct, will be discussed at a universitywide forum at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 24, in Crow Hall.

Larry J. Shapiro, MD, executive vice chancellor of medical affairs and dean of the School of Medicine, will step down in December after 12 years at the helm. He reflects on his tenure here and on the dedicated, inspiring students, faculty and staff he has worked with.
