Brown University President

Claudia Manuel Nieves-Valente was enrolled at Brown from the fall of 2000 to the spring of 2001.

He was admitted to Brown's graduate school to study in the Masters of Science PhD program in physics.

During his time at Brown, Nieves-Valente was enrolled only in physics classes.

The majority of physics classes at Brown have always been held within the Barris and Hawley classrooms and labs.

Now, detailed records indicating where specific courses were held don't extend back to 2001.

But we can say that physics classes typically require access to specialized equipment, including demonstration parts that are a fixed asset in some of Barris and Hawley classrooms.

So I think it's safe to assume that this man, when he was a student, spent a great deal of time in that building.

He has no current active affiliation with the university or campus presence.

You know, I think we need to look back.

We'll look at everything that is done.

But I do not think a lack of cameras in that building had anything to do with what happened there.

And we will go forward.
