	Accused GU Prof Returns to Work By Shawn Vestal The Spokesman-Review [Spokane WA] September 20, 2006 http://www.spokesmanreview.com/local/story.asp?ID=150469 A Jesuit professor at Gonzaga University accused of making sexual advances and assaulting a seminarian in a civil lawsuit that was settled by the university has returned as a professor at the school. The return of political science professor Michael Treleaven came during the same recent period when the university announced that its former president, John Leary, had abused young boys. It has caused some to question whether GU is taking aggressive action against current misconduct, even as it acknowledges crimes from the past. "I think it's just part of the pattern of lies and deceit from the Catholic Church about the activities of its priests," said Michael Willing, the former seminarian who sued the school. "I think it's deplorable." John Whitney, the provincial superior of the Oregon Society of Jesus, said in an interview with The Spokesman-Review on Sept. 8 that the allegations involving Treleaven were not as serious as Leary's abuse of young boys.
