On May 28, shortly after the conclusion of exams and our departure from campus, MiddSafe advocates received a letter from the Health and Wellness Education (HWE) office titled “Changes to MiddSafe & Mental Health Peer Educators – Your Eyes and Response Needed!” This email explained that for a variety of reasons, the MiddSafe hotline was going to be shut down, effective immediately, and that our group was to be merged with the Mental Health Peer Educators (MHPEs), another campus resource run by HWE, into the new Peers Educating for Affirming Relationships (PEARs). MiddSafe provided a one-of-a-kind service to Middlebury students: A 24/7 confidential hotline, staffed by students, for those impacted by sexual violence. In quietly shutting down MiddSafe, Middlebury removed a unique resource and overlooked the importance of student input, highlighting the need for greater transparency in decisions that affect the community.
