"I'm aware the university has come under some criticisms regarding communications and response, in general," Carpenter said in a statement released by the school. "But again, I feel that the administration's response has been focused on the investigation and my well-being."

nearly 8 days for the University to release ANY NEWS regarding the
attack," a Gender Justice LA Facebook invite for the rally said. "This silence is deadly and this silence is what our community
had grown accustomed to ... but no longer! I hope you will join
me in protest of this kind of violence and show CSULB that they cannot
forget about our community and they cannot they cannot sweep an attack
like this under the rug."
