Professor Fran Quigley, ’87, will talk about the evictions and housing crisis in the state during IU Health’s Spiritual Grand Rounds series. The event will take place in an online format at noon January 21.

Professor Quigley and his Health and Human Rights Clinic students have been hard at work helping people facing evictions since the moratorium ended in summer 2021. The halt was put in place at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. He was among the many lawyers who were sounding the alarm about what would happen to tenants once the moratorium ended.

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.
