Niagara dean of students cleared of rape cover-up accusation but will leave post LEWISTON – Marjean C. “Carrie” McLaughlin will leave her post as dean of students at Niagara University, although an investigation concluded she did not attempt to cover up a rape allegation against a member of the university’s men’s basketball team. McLaughlin had been on paid administrative leave since Dec. 7, after she was targeted in an online petition demanding her dismissal. Niagara student Sarah Joslin, a third-year social work major, started the petition and accused McLaughlin of taking the player’s side after a female student alleged that a player had raped her. No such report ever was filed with law enforcement agencies in Niagara County. The university’s announcement said federal law will not allow it to comment on whether a rape allegation was made. No date has been set for McLaughlin’s official departure. Read more: buffalo.com/2016/02/16/news/music/niagara-dean-of-students-cleared-of-rape-cover-up-accusation-but-will-leave-post/
