Amid sex assault allegations, Asheville School alumni call for school head, board chair to resign Karen Chávez, Asheville Citizen Times
Three of the first women to graduate from Asheville School are demanding that the head of school and the head of the board of trustees mitigate mistakes in the handling of a recent alleged assault case or resign their positions.
Victoria Jayne, of Hickory, and two of her classmates – Janis Pulley and Frannie Doloboff Miller – from the distinguished class of 1974, sent letters to head of school Anthony Sgro and board chair Walter Cox Jr. on Dec. 22, expressing outrage at how the school handled the Title IX investigation into claims by Agnes Hill, now 17, that she was sexually assaulted as a freshman by an older male student. Jayne, an attorney, also reveals in her letter that she, too, was the victim of an alleged sexual assault while attending Asheville School.
