Student Clinic Misconduct Claims Spark Legal Action

Brooklyn Supreme Court Lawsuit: Allegations of Inappropriate Conduct at Campus Health Clinic

A lawsuit filed in Brooklyn Supreme Court accuses a physician assistant at the campus health clinic of inappropriate touching toward female students over several years.

• Plaintiff: A former film student claims the assistant repeatedly guided her to his office, pressed his hand on her thigh, and leaned close during exams from 2022 to 2024.
• Clinic Director’s Response: When the student requested a female provider, the director confronted her about “why” and echoed that other students had made similar complaints. The director allegedly dismissed the concerns, claiming the assistant was an older man with no interest in younger patients.
• Current Status: The clinic director retired after 30 years, while the assistant remains employed.
• Institutional Statement: The college states it treats misconduct reports seriously but cannot comment on pending litigation.
• Statements: Neither the assistant nor the director responded to requests for statements.
