Brianna Brochu has been expelled. #JusticeForJazzy
The president of The University of Hartford wrote a letter addressing the situation. The note is as follows:
<blockquote> Dear University of Hartford Community,
I am writing to provide further updates on the deeply disturbing situation involving our students. As of this morning, Brianna Brochu is no longer a student at the University of Hartford. She will not be returning to the institution.
There has been an outpouring of concern for the victim of these acts from across the University and the country. In my meeting with her yesterday, I reiterated my personal commitment to ensuring she has all available personal and academic resources the University can provide.
As I said yesterday, the University took action immediately once these allegations were brought to our attention. University Public Safety was first notified and responded to this incident at 11:48 p.m. on October 17. The reprehensible conduct of the involved student was not known by the victim or the University until that time. By 1:12 a.m. the West Hartford Police Department was notified and processes for legal and University conduct began. A no-contact order was put into place and the case was turned over to local authorities by 2:16 a.m.
It is clear there is work to be done at our University to ensure that all students feel safe, respected, and valued. The conversations that began with student groups, faculty, and staff yesterday are going to continue and involve our full community. I am dedicated to that mission and will continue to share additional information about opportunities for our path forward in meaningful dialogue and action.

I also think we should all keep in mind that the University tried to silence the victim, Jazzy, allowing Brianna to get away with barely a slap on the wrist. Keep in mind that it was the voices of social media which aided in getting Jazzy the justice she so rightfully deserves. I applaud the school for expelling her, but this should have been done without external influence and pressure.
