Origins of e-mail still unknown
The Yale College Deans Office has reached a dead end in its investigation into the origins of the e-mail known as The Preseason Scouting Report, Yale College Dean Mary Miller said Tuesday.
Yale Information Technology Services, working with the Deans Office and the Yale Police Department, has failed to trace the source of the e-mail, which was originally sent from an anonymous account, Miller said in an interview. Still, should additional leads come to light, Miller said the possibility of disciplinary action could be explored by the Yale College Executive Committee.
I wouldnt say that the case is closed, Miller said.
The Scouting Report e-mail came to the attention of University administrators last week after being circulated widely among campus panlists. The message lists the names, hometowns and residential colleges of 53 freshman women, who are organized into categories based on appearance. Some of the names are accompanied by vulgar commentary on the students Facebook photos or Facebook profiles.

While University administrators have so far focused on determining whether any disciplinary action can be taken against the e-mails creator, the freshman women listed in the message have found support at the residential college level from their masters, deans and freshman counselors.
Brenna Hughes Neghaiwi 13, who was named in the e-mail and who published an op-ed in Mondays News responding to the Scouting Report, said she thinks that the University could and should do more in response to the situation.
I think its a bit disappointing, Neghaiwi said, adding that she believes many students who received the e-mail know the identity of its writer. I just wish there would be some more definitive action behind it.

Someone in comments asked if perhaps Annie Le knew the person who wrote the letter and was going to tell on them. Interesting.
I wonder if Annie knew some of the freshmen listed on the letter?
