Murphy Design Studio Building. This building will be the result of a donation by Coastal Construction, a major South Florida builder, and will be LEED-certifi ed and feature studios to accommodate more than 120 students. Giancarlo Falconi // Assistant Photo Editor T he groundbreaking ceremony for the Thomas P. Mur-phy Design Studio Building, highlighting the building’s function and trans-formative significance to the School of Architecture, was held on Wednesday afternoon. The building is the result of a $3.5 million gift from Coastal Construction and is named after the father of the company’s president and CEO, Thomas P. Murphy Jr. The building will be Leader-ship in Energy and Environ-mental Design certified and feature about 20,000 square feet of space, including out-door workspaces.

According to the School of Architecture’s dean, Ro-dolphe el-Khoury, the new building will bring students together and change the way professors in the School of Ar-chitecture teach. “Through learning by making, this building will be the catalyst for the school’s evolution,” he said. Groundbreaking launches School of Architecture studio construction By Jorge Chabo Contributing News Writer Former student sues university, renowned philosophy professor By Isabella Cueto Assistant News Editor A former graduate student at the University of Miami is suing the university for al-legedly violating her Title IX rights when handling sexual harassment allegations she brought against a profes-sor in September 2012. Monica Morri-son’s lawyer filed the lawsuit in Miami- Dade county on Oct. 15 and is also suing two former university employees, philosophy professors Colin McGinn and Edward Erwin. The lawsuit contains 13 counts brought against the three defendants, respectively, and includes civil assault, breach of fiduciary duty, retaliation and sexual harassment charges. McGinn’s attorney, Andrew Berman, said in a Huffington Post article from Oct. 16 that the professor “denies the claims and we will vigorously defend against them in the appropriate forum.” The article also said Erwin “declined to comment, citing advice from his lawyer.” The lawsuit claims that Morrison’s sexual harassment allegations were first brought to the university’s attention in 2012, when she was a Ph.D. student in the Department of Philosophy. Mor-rison began her studies at UM in the fall of 2011 and took a class taught by renowned philosopher McGinn in her first semester. As the semester came to a close in December, the lawsuit claims McGinn asked Morrison to be his research assis-tant for the spring semester and she ac-cepted. The lawsuit states that the two met frequently throughout the semes-ter, in addition to their required meet-ings every Tuesday and Thursday, and formed a working relationship in which they sent email and text messages to each other. According to Morrison’s account and message records in the lawsuit, Mc- Ginn’s messages became increasingly sexual in nature; he made reference to his sexual arousal, Morrison’s body and the novel “Lolita” by Vladimir Nabo-kov, in which a teacher has a sexual rela-tionship with his student, who is a child. jump to page 2 jump to page 3
