Controversy

While Dean at Georgia Tech, he was accused of a lack of due process by students and fraternities. This resulted in lawsuits that resulted in students who were accused of sexual misconduct being reinstated and winning settlements. As a result of the events, Tech dropped its 47 million dollar request for funding. Students also complained about the lack of funding for counseling services and the failure to keep promises to improve student health services. This has been highlighted by multiple student deaths on campuses and violent student protests on campus. This has also resulted in a wrongful death lawsuit by parents. This lawsuit resulted in a settlement of $1 million dollars. There also have been allegations of political discrimination against student groups going back to 2006 which resulted in a lawsuit. This resulted in a settlement by Georgia Tech of $50,000 dollars.
