Well, Exeter has been in the press all week up here for a teacher/dean who admitted to sexually molesting students. Cases that stems from decades back but when they came to light in 2011 he was “quietly” let go. And today, it sounds like investigations are ongoing for additional, possibly unrelated events:

Kind of shameful how the school’s administration seemed to handle it:

Groton, Milton, Andover, Miss Porter’s, Deerfield just off the top of my head have all been in the press in the past several years for similar reasons. Unfortunately, scandals happen all too frequently throughout our society.
Curious what made you post a 10 year old article?
I know someone mentioned in it. A mutual friend and I were discussing the Labrie case as well as the current Exeter situation. She sent me the link to the article.
Yes. Read John Knowles. Boarding schools are insular, insulated, incestuous institutions, but compared to the way it used to be, today they are paragons of transparent virtue.
