Boston College President Responds to Allegations About Abusive Priest
By
Boston College president Reverend William Leahy is facing scrutiny from students who believe he did not adequately respond to complaints made more than 20 years ago about "inappropriate behavior" by a priest at the Jesuit institution who ran volunteer programs overseas in which the college's students participated,
The Boston Globe reported.
The Reverend Ted Dziak, the former administrator, left Boston College in 1998 and went on to work at Loyola University New Orleans and Le Moyne College in upstate New York. He was recently accused of raping a former volunteer during a 2004 service trip, Nola.com reported. Several other volunteers -- some of them students -- said that Dziak was emotionally abusive, according to Nola.com. He was removed from Le Moyne in September, the news site reported.
