On March 31, Lisa McElroy, an associate professor who teaches legal writing and pedagogy at the Thomas R. Kline School of Law, sent her students an email with the subject: “great article on writing briefs.” When students clicked the included link, however, they were directed to a video of a woman engaging in a sexually explicit act.
In a statement, the university said that according to federal law and the university’s policies and procedures, “Drexel is required to initiate fact-finding for all reports of inappropriate behaviors of a sexual nature that may impact members of our community.”
“As part of these policies and procedures, an employee may be put on administrative leave — which is not punitive — during the investigation,” according to the statement.
