Just so everything is in one place, here's Provost Etchemendy's letter to the Stanford community today:

I'm still disappointed with regard to what he says about Band's actions in recent months.

the original 2015 travel and alcohol ban was the result of events that had happened as recently as a few weeks before the investigation was launched, and the 2016 suspension was due to continued violations that occurred after the 2015 travel and alcohol ban was imposed. In other words, the sanctions are not, as they have been portrayed, for events that transpired many years before any of the current membership joined the Band.

He does not acknowledge/specify *what* those events and violations were, which have already been covered by Robby's tome. At least he sounds positive about his meeting with Band.
