GMU Law Reviewing Policies : Resignation and Regret
Joshua Wright, once the chair of the Federal Trade Commission and a prominent professor at GMU’s Antonin Scalia Law School, has resigned amid claims of abusing his position for illicit contact.
Ken Turchi, the associate dean, didn’t mince words while conveying the school’s stance.
He emphasized their zero-tolerance approach towards inappropriate conduct, expressing regret over any policy violation.
The school, striving to be a beacon of appropriate behavior, shared a message with its students and staff, highlighting the importance of reporting such misconducts.
This letter, bearing the signature of dean Ken Randall, was tactful, not naming Wright directly, yet informing the recipients of the allegations against a Scalia Law professor.
