The parents of a University of Utah student who was killed on campus by her ex-boyfriend last year plan to take legal action against the school.
Matt and Jill McCluskey held a press conference in Salt Lake City on Thursday morning after their attorneys file the legal complaint.
The couple's 21-year-old daughter, Lauren McCluskey, was shot and killed on the University of Utah's campus in Salt Lake City on Oct. 22, 2018, after an altercation with Melvin Rowland, a 37-year-old man whom she had dated for just a month. "Matt and I were shocked that campus police and campus housing’s response to Lauren’s cries for help were incompetent, unaware, skeptical of her, complacent, and uncaring," Jill McCluskey said.
"Work is underway to implement every one of the 30 recommendations made by the review team," the school added. "They should've investigated," the father added."They would've very quickly found his parole status in one call and it would ... we wouldn't be sitting here today."
