Court Grants Summary Judgment for Athletic Director, School President
In a case involving a college student who was hit by a batted baseball, a New Jersey state judge has granted a motion to dismiss filed on behalf of an athletic director and university president, while denying the same motion as it related to the head coach and assistant coach in the case.
Specifically, the court found that the athletic director’s conduct did not rise to the requisite level of “recklessness” and that the president was sufficiently “removed” from any liability.
