Dear Wordsworth College Community,

I want to address the controversy on campus that has been caused by some of our students’ reactions to the comments I have made this week. While much of what I said has been stripped out of context, I nevertheless wish to apologize for any hurt that has been experienced as a result of the manner in which some have chosen to interpret my words. It was not my intention for this to happen.
