University of Notre Dame clears residence rector Elizabeth Greenop
Education
First source report
The University of Notre Dame has cleared Elizabeth Greenop of anonymous online sexual assault allegations and rehired her as an assistant director of residential life. Karen Kennedy, associate vice president of residential life, stated that a thorough investigation found no evidence to support the alleged misconduct.
Greenop previously served as the rector of McGlinn Hall, a women's residence on campus. She was removed from that position and placed on leave in August while the university conducted its investigation. The allegations against her were posted in June and July to an Instagram account called shareyourstory.notredame, which is not affiliated with the university.
Greenop filed a civil defamation suit in August in St. Joseph County, Indiana, Superior Court against 10 defendants identified as Jane and John Doe. That legal proceeding continues as she begins her new role at the university.
