Bucknell to pay $75,000 to settle lawsuit over 2012 fraternity, residence hall search
WILLIAMSPORT — Bucknell University has agreed to pay $75,000 to settle a federal lawsuit over the 2012 search of Kappa Sigma Fraternity and a residence hall.
Terms of the settlement were not disclosed in the notice filed Monday in U.S. Middle District Court, but defense lawyer Devon M. Jacob of Mechanicsburg provided the dollar figure.
He represents now-former fraternity members Kevin Wagner, Frasier Esty and Tony Migliori, who claimed the Feb. 16, 2012 search violated their constitutional rights.
Bucknell says it considers the settlement a victory. So do the plaintiffs.
The settlement is not an admission of liability "but rather a good business decision," Bucknell spokesman Andy Hirsch said.
