The real urgency is they need to protect their reputation. So long as they do a proper investigation and take proper action they can spin this as a rouge professor and be forgiven. We as a community should give them time to investigate and figure out how to handle and prevent this, and then if done correctly forgive them. If they make this statement and then there is no action within a year, then we should assume this is a token attempt to sweep things under the rug and continue with more bans.

For now I'll accept their apology, but if there is no action in the future I'll retract that.
