Interim College President Nancy Nekvasil informed the community that Saint Mary’s has filed a response to former College President Janice Cervelli’s lawsuit in an email Monday afternoon.

The response will remain sealed.

“Our Board of Trustees decided to keep the response under seal as the College continues to honor the confidentiality of employment agreements and stands by our employment contract with Ms. Cervelli,” Nekvasil said in the email.

Later in the statement, Nekvasil said that the school is remaining focused on its mission of educating women and is hopeful for the future of the College and its incoming class, particularly after this past weekend when they hosted their annual event for admitted students — Meet Me at the Avenue.

“After meeting and speaking with many of those women, I can tell you our future is bright, and we can expect to enroll an exceptional class of future Belles,” Nekvasil said.
