Fired ND Press director plans to sue university


The former director of the University of Notre Dame Press, Barbara Hanrahan, plans to sue the university for her June 2010 dismissal.

Hanrahan became director of the press in 1999. Before coming to Notre Dame, she also worked at the University of Chicago Press and as director of the Ohio State University Press.

Citing the upcoming lawsuit, Hanrahan declined to comment on any aspect of her employment at the university.

As was the case for former Director of Hesburgh Libraries Jennifer Younger, who left the University in May 2010, Hanrahan?s position was overseen by Assistant Provost C. Ohmer. Ohmer declined to comment on the firing or provide an indication of when a new director will be appointed, citing the confidentiality of personnel matters.
