Recently, The Oregonian, a local daily, reported that Linfield University agreed to pay Pollack-Pelzner $1,037,500 while declining to concede that his version of events is true. Scott Nelson, a university spokesperson told the paper that internal discussions yielded a consensus that it was “preferable to resolve this situation and move on.”
In his legal complaint, Pollack-Pelzner said he first raised concerns about several trustees accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault after becoming a university trustee in 2019. In one case, a trustee who later resigned was indicted on charges of abusing four students.
Davis later accused Pollack-Pelzner of pursuing a “secret agenda” aimed at “destroying Linfield from within.” That same day, Davis is said to have asked in a faculty meeting why several Linfield professors had been “so concerned” with swastikas and other racist and antisemitic graffiti recently discovered on campus. In the past, Pollack-Pelzner also alleged, Davis had made antisemitic remarks about “Jewish noses” during a discussion of Shakespeare’s “Merchant of Venice.”
