Ramsey Apologizes to Students Affected by Hanson Mold
One day after a heated airing of grievances relating to the ongoing mold situation at Hanson Hall at the Gettysburg College Student Senate meeting where students castigated the college — and Associate Dean of College Life for Residential and First-Year Programs Keira Kant, who came to the meeting to field questions and hear student concerns — for not apologizing to Hanson residents, Vice President of College Life Julie Ramsey issued a statement of apology to those residents.
In an email sent to The Gettysburgian Tuesday afternoon, Ramsey stated, “On behalf of the College, I want to apologize to residents, parents, and others affected by mold in Hanson Hall. This has been a very disruptive period for Hanson residents, and the College recognizes the negative impact it has had on students.”
The lack of an apology from Kant Monday evening sparked a torrent of criticism from senators and meeting attendees alike including from Student Senate President Luke Frigon, who called it “flabbergasting” that Kant “didn’t say sorry.”
