In Letter to UST, Alum Raises Contradiction Between UST Law School's Mission and Hiring of Robert Delahunty.
Delhanty is a co-author of the "Torture Memo." UST replies.

The University of St. Thomas Law School's mission statement states that "The University of St. Thomas School of Law, as a Catholic law school, is dedicated to integrating faith and reason in the search for truth through a focus on morality and social justice." Yet this school hired Robert Delahunty, a co-author of the "Torture Memo."
Bill Moyer's show on PBS Friday, May 29, displayed the "Torture Memo" from John Yoo's office in the Department of Justice. Robert Delahunty's name was clearly included under John Yoo's. For some reason Robert Delahunty is never given credit as a co-author of these memos nor is the obvious contradiction between the law school's Mission Statement and hiring acknowledged.

St. Thomas still employs potential war criminal Robert Delahunty, The Big E, MN Progressive Project
Now that the 9 secret legal memos have been released, I am reminded of St. Thomas University Professor Robert Delahunty's role in crimes of the Bush Administration. Delahunty helped write the infamous torture memo which rationalized why the Bush Administration could torture prisoners captured in the War on Terror. He also had a hand in crafting 2 of these 9 memos.
Activists Continue to Challenge UST’s Law School Dean, Bob Heberle, Evergreene Digest
They cite “specious and irrelevant” arguments and are “astonished at the illogic of (Mengler’s) defense” in keeping Torture Memo author Delahunty on the law school faculty in light of UST’s mission statement.
