Porterfield's predatory creepy behavior was well known

Living in Sorin Hall from 1978-1982, it was openly known that the Rector Porterfield was a sexual predator.

He was abruptly removed in 1983 as Rector. Good Riddance!

The decision by the University to allow him back onto Campus was disgraceful.
