Professor Fran Quigley published an article about what he and his Health and Human Rights Clinic students have witnessed first-hand as they work on behalf of clients facing eviction. The piece was published in Common Dreams.

Professor Quigley was among the many lawyers who were sounding the alarm about what would happen to tenants once the moratorium on evictions came to an end. The halt to evictions was put in place at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The moratorium ended July 31, 2021. In the article, he offers a top ten list of things he and his students have learned during their time helping tenants in eviction court.

Professor Quigley is a 1987 graduate of IU McKinney, where he is a Clinical Professor of Law and teaches in the Health and Human Rights Clinic. Clinic students advocate for the rights of the poor, with a focus on individual and systemic barriers to accessing healthcare and the social determinants of health. His latest book, Religious Socialism: Faith in Action for a Better World, was published in September 2021. He is the author of several academic journal articles on social justice and human rights, multiple mass media articles and columns, and five books including this most recent work. Prior to his work at the law school, he served as the first Chief of Staff for Congresswoman Julia Carson and as the executive director of ACLU of Indiana.  He edits the newsletter Faith in Healthcare and contributes to and helps edit the publications of the Religious Socialism working group of the Democratic Socialists of America.
