St. Bonaventure University is considering renaming its administrative building, Hopkins Hall, after learning of a credible claim of sexual abuse.

The university was unaware of the claim until its connection was uncovered by The Bona Venture.

Msgr. James F. Hopkins is listed in the Diocese of Erie public disclosure list, which was last updated on April 5, 2019.

The list names individuals credibly accused of actions that “disqualify that person from working with children.”
