The Thacher School, among California’s most elite private schools, announced Thursday that it would remove the name of its former head of school from the campus dining hall and athletic field. The Wednesday night vote to remove Mulligan’s name from the Ojai campus was unanimous, according to the board. “By taking this action, we stay true to the values Thacher aspires to as a school and as a community. Frustration was evident in an online petition created last month to remove Mulligan’s name from the school. The law firm will investigate any awareness of, and any response to, sexual misconduct that occurred during her ongoing tenure as a Thacher employee.
