An administrator at Fordham University resigned Friday after allegations surfaced that he sexually abused a boy more than 40 years ago, according to a published report.
Brother James Liguori, who served as president of Iona College in New Rochelle for 17 years, became the executive director of Fordham’s Westchester campus in 2011.
He stepped down Friday a day after a lawsuit by his alleged victim was made public, reports the Daily News.
In a statement, Fordham University said Liguori passed all background checks when he was hired by the university, and officials say they began investigating the claims immediately.
