Six USF law students and their professor have won the release of a man convicted of a crime he did not commit.

At a university discussion on Feb. 23, three faculty members shared stories of mistreatment at the hands of police. The talk is part of an initiative called “Building Our Capacity to Address Racism” at USF that includes programs about race and racism. The effort grew out of calls for the university to face concerns about structural racism, and this forum was part of an effort to reimagine the Department of Public Safety at USF.
