The University of Notre Dame is facing intense public scrutiny after an independent report accused the institution of failing to act on allegations of sexual misconduct involving a former priest who worked on campus for years.
The investigation, conducted by law firm Debevoise & Plimpton, centred on the actions of Rev. Thomas King, who served as a rector at Zahm Hall. The findings describe a coercive 'weighing scheme' allegedly used to target male students during the 1980s and 1990s.
