Well, another quandary with respect to which I need some insight. I just read the stories about the predator/ cult leader Larry Ray and his involvement with students at Sarah Lawrence College (including his own daughter). It took a while but he was just arrested (later than necessary). The NYMagazine piece is chilling. My questions do not relate to the power of a cult figure on young people. We have many examples of this... sadly. Here’s what I don’t get: where were the Sarah Lawrence administrators and staff? Apparently, at least one knew something was “up” in a specific dorm and did not address the issues. Perhaps a parent can spend a night or two or three in a dorm but Larry Ray’s stay appears to be much longer. Didn’t folks notice? Wasn’t there an RA? I frankly am hard pressed to believe the College could claim to be so hands off or ignorant or accepting of parents living on campus. Weren’t red lights flashing? Lives and relationships were ruined. What responsibility did/does Sarah Lawrence have and are the personnel then there still employed? Years in question seem to be 2010 — 2014. There must be another piece or two of three that I am missing. I have known some administrators there — remarkable people. Explain to me what happened please. …see more
