I am in the same situation (90's alumnus - male). I am pissed and reached out to the Engagement center. As should you. Per the person I called, there has been an updated Clery report sent out, and it seems like at least one person may have lost their job (or simply been reassigned - not 100% sure).

Edit: 2 people were terminated and 1 was reassigned.

Since you are saying you do better than competitors, can you explain the following results when we first did a Wisdom Panel (last summer) on our foster fail Mochi, and then did Embark (because we were not satisfied with the Wisdom Panel results)? We had previously done Wisdom Panels on our other dogs.

Wisdom Panel (Pre-2020)said:

  • 25% American Pit Bull Terrier
  • 12.5% Basset
  • 62.5% other

Embark said:

  • 23.1% American Pit Bull Terrier
  • 17.9% Australian Cattle Dog
  • 11.6% Basset Hound
  • 10.4% Boston Terrier
  • 9.0% Lab Retriever
  • 5.9% Chow Chow
  • 5.3% German Shepard
  • 16.8% Supermutt where Supermutt contained traces of Toy Fox Terrier, Miniature Pinscher, and Collie.

Edit 2: As noted in their response, there was an update profile when we logged in. The new Wisdom Panel Genetic Profile is:

  • 18% American Pit Bull Terrier
  • 14% Chihuahua
  • 13% Australian Cattle Dog
  • 7% Boston Terrier
  • 7% Basset Hound
  • 5% American Staffordshire Terrier
  • 4% Catahoula Leopard Dog
  • 4% Chow Chow
  • 4% Dachsund
  • 4% Labrador Retriever
  • 3% German Shepard
  • 3% English Springer Spaniel
  • 2% Bluetick Coonhound
  • 2% Border Collie
  • 2% Boxer
  • 2% Golden Retriever
  • 2% Miniature Pinscher
  • 2% Poodle (Toy & Miniature)
  • 2% Tree Walking Coonhound

Edit 1: will your current version tell us if two dogs are related? We are maternity fosters and it has been fun watching when adopters DNA test and prove that there were two dads in the litter.

I am a male alumnus from the 90's. Seeing this IAmA, I have already registered my displeasure with the alumni outreach center. Per their response, they have terminated two employees and reassigned a third while restating the last 3 years of statistics.

u/boobtouch69 seems to indicate her concerns are more about the lack or proper reporting vs a lack of protection, but I cannot and will not speak for her in whether she feels the problem was primarily a reporting issue versus insufficient support post incident and insufficient on campus protection. I am horrified that she had to go through this, and pissed that the school improperly reported it.

If you wish to PM me, I will be happy to chat about both my own education and non-education experiences on campus. But I readily admit that as a male my experiences will differ from a female, and that some of my female friends from that time were harassed in the form of unwanted verbal attention (though I am unaware of any who were physically harassed, raped or assaulted).

u/Almostmauledbyasloth, u/Bartlebum, u/DocPeacock, u/Oceanmechanic are also commenting elsewhere in this thread as alumni or current students, so I would suggest reaching out to them as well (although I did not ask them for permission for you to reach out to them first). We seem to represent the last 3 decades (acutallly 4 if you include this year).

So at least two people were terminated for the improper reporting and one was reassigned per the response I received.

The difference is less rescue vs shelter and more open intake/government run shelter vs closed intake/private shelter. A shelter is a physical location, but can be run by a government, a private rescue under contract to a government, or a private rescue.
