Comments on: Notre Dame Named Defendant in Sordid Lawsuit https://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/2015/11/02/notre-dame-named-defendant-in-sordid-lawsuit/ A Notre Dame Football Blog Mon, 02 Nov 2015 16:51:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.8.4 By: DJ https://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/2015/11/02/notre-dame-named-defendant-in-sordid-lawsuit/#comment-258744 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 16:51:00 +0000 http://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/?p=31802#comment-258744 “Jane Roe” is alleged to have provided academic coaching to “students and student-athletes.” Accordingly, Jane Roe could not have been an employee of Academic Services for Student-Athletes, as the only students they work with are student-athletes.

Having said that, there are other offices that work with students who aren’t athletes, such as the First Year of Studies, the Colleges, and the academic departments.

According to a story in the New York Daily News, the University has terminated the employment of an employee responsible for “academic coaching.”

If one believes a poster on NDNation who claims to have done some internet investigation (the fact he is an NDNation poster is meant for identification and not a comment on his trustworthiness), the LinkedIn and Twitter accounts of a person employed at the First Year of Studies have been suspended.

All this does not imply that Notre Dame is liable for the conduct alleged in the complaint; the University may well be dismissed from the lawsuit in due course. We’ll have to wait and see.
