Dear members of the HUC Community,

As you are likely aware, the HUC-JIR Board of Governors has retained our law firm, Morgan Lewis, to conduct a thorough investigation of all allegations of inequitable or inappropriate treatment made to our firm by past or current members of the HUC-JIR community.

In particular, we have been asked to: (i) investigate allegations of sexual misconduct, harassment, or discrimination based on sex (including gender, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation) or any other accounts of harassment or discrimination by any member of the HUC-JIR faculty or staff; (ii) determine whether any past or current HUC-JIR faculty or staff member in a supervisory or leadership position engaged in or was aware of such behavior occurring at any location on any campus or at any off-site assignments or events related to HUC-JIR coursework; and, if so, (iii) determine whether the responses to such complaints, if any, were appropriate.

Thank you to the many individuals who already have reached out to us. We encourage anyone who believes they may have relevant information to reach out. If you are unsure whether your information is relevant, we encourage you to contact us nonetheless, as any information you have may be helpful.

To contact Morgan Lewis to schedule an interview, ask any questions, or simply have a conversation, please email:
HUC-JIRinvestigation@morganlewis.com
You may also reach out by telephone at (202) 739-4878 and a member of the Morgan Lewis team will respond as quickly as possible. This email address and telephone number are accessible only by the Morgan Lewis team. No one at HUC-JIR or the Board of Governors will have access to your communications with Morgan Lewis.

Thank you,
