Death hearing postponed

From Staff Reports

The hearing for the motion for summary judgment in the lawsuit filed against Purdue University for the death of a residence hall counselor has been continued until a later date.

The parents of Jay Severson, a student who was killed in 1996 while serving as a counselor in Wiley Residence Hall, have sued the University, the Board of Trustees, several administrators and several law enforcement agencies for his death.

The University had filed a motion for summary judgment, which if granted would dismiss the case. One allegation in the motion is that Purdue is not subject to liability because it is a public institution.
