The report comes after a WBUR investigation found officer David Laudon went on to work for the Blackstone Police Department, where he was assigned to investigate sexual assaults and work with children in the local school system — despite allegations he had sexually harassed and groped a university student in 2010.
UMass Dartmouth failed to alert both prosecutors and prospective employers that a former campus police officer resigned over allegations of sexual assault and harassment more than a decade ago, a university report found.
Davis' review, obtained by WBUR in a public records request, confirmed the university did not share the allegations against Laudon. But it said university officials followed the school's policies, in allowing Laudon to quietly resign. Laudon went on to apply for jobs with police departments in Blackstone and out of state, in Baltimore. In both instances, the report says, school officials confirmed only Laudon’s dates of employment and did not mention the allegations of sexual harassment and assault.The UMass Dartmouth report said it was the university's policy at the time to withhold further information, unless"the employee was subject to disciplinary procedures and fired for cause.
“UMass Dartmouth applauds the creation in 2020 of the Massachusetts Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission,” UMass Dartmouth spokesperson Ryan Merrill said in a statement.
