The Office of the Attorney General has selected a Philadelphia law firm to investigate how the University of Connecticut has handled allegations of sexual assault on the part of a former music professor.
Drinker Biddle & Reath was selected from a group of 28 law firms that answered the request for bids to represent UConn's Board of Trustees. The request was made this summer following revelations that UConn officials didn't take prompt action against the professor, Robert Miller. According to police reports that were made public in June, allegations of sexual misconduct against Miller were known by at least one university employee as far back as 2006.
