Thank you for documenting all this so clearly Frances, you’re a credit to the community. The behaviour from Riley and subsequent lack of response from many CEA members is really disappointing. A very sad hour. I’m glad there was contrition shown by some parties, and I’m sorry you had to deal with all this, and in some ways are still dealing with it.
Frances is clearly an excellent writer, capable of clear communication and nuance. I’m very impressed at the high quality of this piece. Reading this, I got a sense of how exhausting it may have felt to be in the middle of this, with no clear way out. Ironically, because it did such a good job at cataloguing each step and how it affected her & her model of what was happening, it updated me further in the direction of expecting most victim’s whistleblowing/reporting of harassment to be quite messy and jumbled, and that it should be taken seriously and respectfully.
