| Anselm's Alum here. I'm pretty sure I know who this is about and during my time there, I had my own experiences with this individual. Are we talking about "inappropriate" in terms of sexual or inappropriate because the teacher/coach bought beer or cigarettes for a student? Both would warrant the reaction St. A's gave, or even a worse one - but they are obviously different issues and reveal vastly different problems with the teacher. |

Another Abbey alumnus here: you should definitely ask around. If you are a recent alum, then you will find someone with more to tell than has been published on this forum. The story varies but it was more than the teacher/coach buying beer or cigarettes for a student but unclear as to whether anything sexual occurred. It was definitely inappropriate and the teacher/coach has been investigated by the police and is no longer permitted on campus or allowed any contact with students. Beyond that, it's very hush hush at the Abbey. The good news is that he was immediately asked to leave once the situation was brought to Father Peter and Headmaster Silvano's attention. He is now at Kirov Academy of Ballet in Washington, DC and, according to the school, Kirov has not has the school for a reference and the school would not give him one. So, how he got the job is curious but he is not problem for St. Anselm's anymore. |

| PS And he is no longer coaching at Gonzaga anymore either. My guess is that they asked St. Anselm's for a reference after hiring him. |
