Scott McConnell yesterday filed a civil rights lawsuit yesterday
against Le Moyne College in the Superior Court of Onondaga County,
New York. As
detailed
by
TAS
in February, McConnell is the student who was
dismissed from the Syracuse, New York school’s graduate education
program for suggesting in a paper that corporal punishment might
have a place in the classroom. McConnell is represented by
Manhattan civil rights lawyer Sam Abady and the Washington-based
Center for Individual Rights. He is seeking a maximum award of $5
million.

“They destroyed his career just because they didn’t like his idea,” Abady said yesterday. Abady claims Le Moyne is “ducking the case” by not accepting service of the lawsuit through its lawyer. Le Moyne spokesman Joe Della Posta had a prepared oral statement: “The college will not comment on any aspect of pending or ongoing litigation. As we have all along, Le Moyne stands by our action and is confident the courts will uphold our decision not to admit this individual as a fully matriculated student.”
