In an interview the day she received the report, Hammonds declined to provide a date for the report’s public release. “I think it’s going to take me a bit of time to read it carefully, to convene people in the college to talk about it, to talk about it with others, to give them some feedback, and give them some time to respond, so I would give that some time,” Hammonds said.
