East Stroudsburg Sex Scandal Fearless Coverage — May the Pocono Record get a Pulitzer Prize for its reporting of the sex scandal at East Stroudsburg University, which is a state institution administered by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.
Six current and former students are suing the university, its trustees and current and former administrators alleging that a former administrator at ESU used money and gifts to repeatedly solicit unwanted sex from them, and that other administrators covered up the matter.
The suit was filed in Monroe County Common Pleas Court last February and moved to U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania a month later
The administrator accused of the homosexual harassment is Isaac Sanders, who was then vice president for university advancement and executive director of the ESU Foundation. He was fired in October 2008, about a year after the first complaints were made.
The latest story describes how one student, a freshman, describes how he was harassed by Sanders and how the superiors of the school’s then director of diversity and campus mediation attempted to influence his investigation of the matter.
