Where We are Now

The arrest of math instructor Szczesny Kaminski last  summer [August 2020] for felonious assault of a minor during the years 2013-2017, with the academy aware of concerns by numerous faculty starting in 2015, highlights the emptiness of words in the absence of real culture-addressing action. It is important to note that the investigation of Kaminski was occurring as PATH was meeting with administration and seeking a more inclusive and complete report of the scope of sexual harm than what had been  produced by Holland & Knight. https://theexonian.net/news/details-kaminski?fbclid=IwAR18vCxUqJEalW8P8Y3R9Xr9-r

In the wake of Mr. Kaminski’s arrest, alumni have turned to us at PATH in greater numbers to provide the needed acknowledgement and support of survivors. In response, we have started a donor assisted fund to provide to those sexually harmed by Exeter employees. This fund will help PATH provide for survivors unable to safely or reasonably receive from the school in a dignified way. 

Exeter’s community has consistently shown a sincere desire to support classmates; the many Facebook pages that have been created since in 2016 for sharing and support bear witness to this desire. We at PATH are so grateful for community members who have now stepped into needed leadership to create this fund that will direct monies to survivors in need, and for all the alumni who continue to make a statement with their support of PATH and alumni harmed at Exeter.
