In April 2023, a misdemeanor harassment charge against former Linfield Trustee David Jubb was dismissed

--“David Jubb, (a Linfield College grad and) longtime member of the university’s board, resigned as a board trustee in June 2019 after … (a female) undergraduate student trustee, said Jubb groped her in February of that year.

--“Jubb subsequently was charged in an eight-count indictment that accused him of sexually abusing the four different students in 2017 and 2019. He faced one felony count of first-degree sexual abuse and seven misdemeanor counts of third-degree sexual abuse. He pleaded no contest to two counts of harassment for groping two of the students. Jubb was sentenced in October 2021 to 18 months of probation, ordered to undergo an alcohol abuse assessment and complete 40 hours of community service.

--“Quietly, in April, a misdemeanor harassment charge against former Linfield Trustee David Jubb was dismissed following his successful completion of an 18-month probation for inappropriate contact with Linfield students. That unreported court action concluded an extended public spectacle that brought unwanted national attention, the professor’s lawsuit, new leadership for the Linfield Board of Trustees, and still-unresolved feelings by many that top-level apologies have been insufficient.”
