Shapiro v. Board of Regents of the University
Shapiro v. Board of Regents of the University
Opinion of the Court
Memorándum: The order appealed from should be reversed and the determination of the Board of Regents annulled.
There was, as the Appellate Division held, insufficient evidence to support the charges contained in the two specifications brought against the petitioner. And the sole ground upon which that court relied in upholding the petitioner’s suspension — that he made “ representations ” (falsely) as to the effect of the treatments (Penal Law, § 1142) —was not expressly contained in either of the said specifications and, accordingly, was not a charge for which he could adequately prepare and present a defense. (Cf. Matter of Weiner v. Board of Regents, 3 A D 2d 113.)
Order reversed, without costs, and determination of the Board of Regents annulled in a memorandum.
