DUKE Law Prof. Calls McKenna Disciplinary Process ‘Indefensible’

February 22, 2017

One of the strongest critics of the disciplinary process in the sexual misconduct case involving soccer player Ciaran McKenna has been Duke law professor James Coleman, Jr. Throughout the process, Coleman has made statements arguing that McKenna has been mistreated by the University’s disciplinary process. “I seriously doubt that the Office of Civil Rights, which I once advised as Deputy General Counsel of the Department of Education, would agree with the process that is being contemplated,” he wrote. “I hope the University will step in to avert this unfairness.” (The University did not step in to stop the unjust treatment of McKenna.)
