Witt-trying to save face?

Unfortunately, Wittenberg is going through some hard and trying times currently and the debate is whether the University is handling the situation in the right manner. I have no idea what the right way for Witt to handle this situation is. Yes, they head of Communications sent out a vague email that upset students, but as a PR tactic she did what she should do. But, this upset many students, including myself, because we do have a right to know what is going on, especially in a case like this when the media is all over it. It becomes a safety concern when students are not well-informed of risky situations, especially with the man on Alumni Way. We should have been notified of that the night of, not the next day. I thought that was why we have all of the safety measures in place, such as the text alert system. On the other hand, Witt has the right to remain vague because this is bad press for them and any company in this sort of situation, regarding receiving bad press, will want to hide as much as they can and say as little as possible. I understand this is extremely frustrating for  the student body, myself included, but I feel this is type of situation will occur numerous times throughout our lives. I know when I was on the executive board of my sorority, things would happen that we didn't tell the chapter, or we were vague about. Whether this is right or wrong, I don't know, but I do know that is happens everywhere and that is why there are the people in charge who's job is to handle these sticky situations. But nonetheless, we should all come together as a community, and hope that that things only go upward from here on out.
