On 15 March 2019, Critic published a story entitled "Sexual Assault and Rape Went Undisciplined at Knox College". The article included references to the way a former Deputy Master had dealt with a complaint raised by a former student referred to as "Anne".
Critic Te Arohi did not approach the former Deputy Master referred to in "Anne's" story for comment before publishing this story in the 15 March 2019 issue of Critic. Critic apologises to the Deputy Master for not giving her the opportunity to comment on the aspects of the story related to her.
Having now sought comment from the former Deputy Master, Critic accepts that the former Deputy Master took complaints of sexual harassment seriously and took steps to address matters brought to her attention. Not all parties would have been aware of those steps taken, for privacy reasons. Critic accepts that there is evidence that the former Deputy Master ensured all complaints were documented and reported to others as appropriate.
