Boston College is being sued by a former Irish Republican Army soldier who contributed to the university's oral history project about civil unrest in Northern Ireland. Kirk Carapezza reports at our On Campus blog.
Now, former IRA member Richard O'Rawe alleges Boston College breached its contract by not advising him that his testimony might be release. O'Rawe says the college should be held responsible.
"This has become a complete mess from BC's perspective," said Noah Feldman, a constitutional law professor at Harvard.
Feldman points out that the contract signed between researchers Ed Moloney and Anthony McIntyre and IRA members did not mention the possibility that their tapes could be turned over to authorities.
