中文 Letter to the community from President Stephen Toope – Oct. 29

亲爱的同学和老师们：   今天，UBC参加了RCMP（加拿大皇家骑警）举办的的新闻发布会，会中，RCMP透露了更多关于近期校园性骚扰的信息。 (http://news.ubc.ca/2013/10/29/120649)   在这非常时期，我同你一样，十分关注这一系列事件的发展。RCMP正倾尽所有资源和警力全力调查此案件，对此我表示非常感谢。只有及时侦破UBC近日来发生的一系列性骚扰案件，我们的校园才能恢复往日的安宁。在这期间，UBC会与警方密切合作，如果您有可以协助警方破案的信息，请拨打1-800-222-TIPS。   我们与学校各个院系的领导，教师以及学生将竭尽全力加强校园警卫工作维持校园安全。我们将利用一切可利用的资源，保护每UBC每一分子的人身安全。 近日来校园内频频发生的性骚扰案件无疑令人不安，如果你有任何顾虑，需要与人沟通，请不要犹豫，尽管联系UBC, RCMP 或 AMS 的咨询服务，联系方式可以在以下网址找到。 (http://www.ubc.ca/staysafe)   此网站不仅提供咨询服务，同时还会向您提供最新的消息以及安全建议。   在犯罪嫌疑人被逮捕前，希望大家能提高警惕，加倍小心，学会保护自己。尽管最终的选择权在每个人自己手里，但是警方建议天黑之后不要独自行走，同时请一定要互相帮助。 最重要的是，不要让焦虑占据自己。我们应该团结起来，共同抵抗暴力，营造一个安宁祥和充满活力的学术社区。   请贡献自己的一份力量，帮助他人。我们也希望作为学校一分子的你能向我们提供建议，告诉我们如何还能做的更好。   齐心协力，我们一定能度过难关。   不列颠哥伦比亚大学校长 Stephen Toope
