In a Tuesday email, Tulane spokesperson Michael Strecker did not respond to questions about what specifically led to the probation decision. He instead repeated statements from Hamm’s email, and noted the actions Hamm said the School of Medicine has taken or plans to take in response.

The ACGME visited Tulane earlier this spring, in the wake of allegations of racism and retaliation made by an administrator of a Tulane graduate medical education program , and picked up by several other groups affiliated with Tulane.

Graduate medical education programs at the Tulane University School of Medicine were placed on probation by a national accreditor, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, (ACGME) last week. The probation follows a public fight over allegations of racism in the school’s graduate program this February stemming from the suspension of Dr. Princess Dennar, who is Black, from her position overseeing a residency program.
Schneider's Colorado-based attorney Lisa Wayne said, "I think the plea deal speaks for itself. It's been a long two years for everybody."
Criminal District Judge Robin Pittman imposed the sentence after being assured by the state that the accuser in the case had no opposition to the plea agreement, nor to Schneider being placed on probation. The accuser, who later spoke to The Times-Picayune under condition of anonymity, said she accepted the outcome despite some dissatisfaction.
Court documents say state prosecutors interviewed at least two other women who described prior incidents of sexually assaultive behavior by Schneider in 2013 and 2014, which they had not reported to campus or city police. The state filed a motion in June 2016 stating its intention to introduce the women's testimony as proof of similar wrongs or bad acts by Schneider. But the DA's office withdrew that motion three months later without explanation.

At Duffy Law, our criminal defense attorneys defend Connecticut college students against an array of criminal charges. For students in other states, we identify and work closely with highly skilled criminal defense attorneys who practice in the state where charges are pending or were filed. We maintain detailed contact with local attorneys in order to closely coordinate both the criminal defense and the school disciplinary defense strategies. Common conduct code violations that can lead to concurrent criminal charges include:
Conduct Code Violations. Every public and private college and university in the United States has a code of conduct. While these codes may differ in the details, one thing remains the same: a conduct code violation can put your higher education—and your future—in jeopardy.
Not only can misconduct get college students in trouble with their institutions, but some acts also violate state law. Colleges or crime victims may report criminal acts to local authorities, and suddenly a student can face arrest and serious criminal charges.
In many situations, a criminal case can take place at the same time as a college disciplinary hearing. Students in this position must seek qualified legal representation from an attorney who can handle both the college disciplinary case and the case in criminal court.
Their pleas bring to six the number of people convicted in the case, which involved five Tulane basketball players, four students and two alleged bookmakers.
NEW ORLEANS -- A Tulane student and another man pleaded guilty Monday to the lesser charge of gambling in the point-shaving scandal that caused the university last year to end its basketball program.
In the wake of the nine indictments levied in March 1985 and the discovery that basketball coach Ned Fowler and two assistants paid players -- including a shoebox filled with $10,000 and $100 a week to Williams -- in violation of NCAA rules, Tulane abolished men's basketball. Fowler and his assistants resigned.
The scheme involved the exchange of drugs and money for point-shaving during Tulane's home game against the University of Southern Mississippi on Feb. 2, 1985 and during a second Metro Conference game on Feb. 20, 1985 against Memphis State . Prosecutors said the conspirators planned to shave points in a Feb.
16, 1985 game against Virginia Tech, but did not carry out their plan. Judge Patrick Quinlan sentenced Turkel , who was the roommate of ring mastermind Gary Kranz, to a six-month suspended term and one year of inactive probation plus court costs.
Turkel and Bourgeois both implicated Williams in the scheme.
