I don't know the facts, our administration does, but its been my experience that when you have a crisis in a large organization, if possible, deal with it head on. What this situation says to me is that there are a lot of details yet to come out, and more than likely they are getting legal counsel to stay quiet, as they that would be the course if you are expecting legal actions from a party.
Stay quiet, don't do anything that could be used against you, and at the same time, gather evidence and build your case to position yourself to win a legal fight.
Hope I'm not right..
