Former King’s University College President David Malloy is reportedly suing King’s for wrongful dismissal. Malloy departed King’s in 2024, shortly after his second five-year term as president began. His statement of claim alleges that the “employment termination was based, at least in part, on Dr. Malloy’s creed and association with individuals of a sexual orientation that differs from heterosexuality or other sexual orientations that do not align with Catholic values.” The London Free Press reports that the lawsuit is seeking $1.6M for breach of contract and $50K for discriminatory termination of employment and injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect. King’s declined to comment on the lawsuit; the university’s statement of defence is expected in mid-April.
