Trustee Under Fire Quits Boston College Board

Rev. Bradley M. Schaeffer on Thursday quit his position as a Boston College trustee. His resignation followed a report in The Boston Globe that he had failed to stop a priest he was supervising from abusing boys. "As all in our community know, Boston College is a wonderful, caring institution of higher education,” said his resignation letter. "I do not want to harm it or be a distraction. Therefore, I am ending my service as a trustee today.”
