Seattle University President On The Bankruptcy In The Oregon Province

Seattle University President Stephen Sundborg, S.J., was named as a defendant Jan. 14 in the lawsuit for allegedly covering up sexual abuse of minors when he was provincial of the Oregon Province from 1990 to 1996. Sundborg denies all of the allegations that have been made against him.

Sundborg did not respond to an e-mail request for comment late Tuesday night, but he sent an e-mail to faculty, staff and students Wednesday morning.
"I want to assure you that Seattle University is not a part of this bankruptcy proceeding," Sundborg wrote. "Seattle University is, and has been for more than 100 years, an independent Washington non-profit corporation. Seattle University is not owned, operated or controlled by the Oregon Province."
