Law Professor Settles Defamation Lawsuit, Raising Questions About MeToo at George Mason University

George Mason University Law Professor Settles Defamation Lawsuit A former George Mason University law professor, Joshua Wright, recently settled a defamation lawsuit against two of his former students. The case, which involved allegations of sexual misconduct, garnered significant attention. Wright settled with one student, Elyse Dorsey, reaching an out-of-court agreement. He subsequently dropped his claim against the second student, Angela Landry. Dorsey stated that settling was a difficult decision but allowed her to focus on her advocacy work. Landry's decision to settle, however, raises questions about the potential for future legal action. The case highlights ongoing concerns about sexual misconduct in academia and the complexities of legal battles involving such allegations. The "MeToo at GMU" event, featuring both Dorsey and Landry, underscores the broader context of the situation.
