College staff misconduct · Accused: former music professor and former department head
Years of abuse: late 1960s-2013
A longtime music professor and former department head was accused of molesting boys decades earlier at a summer camp and a Virginia school; a state-commissioned investigation also found widespread misconduct with UConn students and that university officials knew of child-abuse allegations by 2003 but did not act.
Status: Not criminally charged as of 2014; an independent investigation found evidence he inappropriately touched boys at a camp in the early 1990s and a middle school student in 1969, and found widespread policy violations with students.
Response: Placed on paid leave and barred from campus in June 2013; investigation faulted administrators for failing to act; he retired effective April 1, 2014 before disciplinary proceedings concluded.
