Statement regarding arrest of Vijay Mannari

The actions the individual is accused of are detestable and abhorrent, and stand against everything the University stands for. 

Upon learning about this matter, the individual was immediately suspended, barred from campus, denied access to University email, and prohibited from any further contact with the University or our students. 

Although the investigation remains ongoing, the University is not aware of any allegations against the individual that involve University employees or students.

The University is cooperating fully with law enforcement and will continue to monitor the situation closely. We take these matters very seriously, as the safety and well-being of our campus community is our top priority.
