Delroy Patrick

Delroy Patrick is a former director of the Hampshire College Office of Public Safety.

The legal letter written by ACLU lawyer William Newman representing student Niko Kern as his civil liberties were threatened is available in the article Legal Letter Against Delroy Patrick. Although there were many reasons that Delroy was eventually fired (not the least of which was almost universal unpopularity among all except perhaps his superiors, including his drinking buddy president Ralph Hexter), this letter to the college's lawyer was perhaps a very significant eye opener to the administration at Hampshire showing how Delroy's uncaring negligence, rampant egoism, lack of professionalism, chronic lying, and scary misunderstanding of the law made Delroy more of a liability than an asset.
