Confidential Settlement for Sexual Abuse by University Professor

Attorney Alan M. Feldman represented the family of a college student who was drawn into a sexual affair by a professor, causing such trauma that the student ended his life. In addition to a significant financial settlement, Feldman negotiated other settlement terms that included a campus hotline for sexual abuse grievances, creation of a dedicated endowment for a student survivor of abuse, a scholarship for a family member and other changes to the school’s policy for responding to complaints of sexual misconduct.
