Hi Adam, thanks for aharing that. I have received a reply from the college but it seems they’ve sent me the wrong email as it’s adressed to somebody with a different name to mine.
Here it is:

The fact that they’ve addressed this to a Stella (which isn’t my name) makes me think they’ve perhaps received a lot of complaints. I’ve emailed back with a link to your comment. Hopefully I’ll get more clarification as to how they are tackling this. I’ll post here as soon as I know more.

Incidently, did you check the address of who sent it? Was it from smillerc@brynmawr.edu?
