Prof. Befort Quoted by MPR on Mankato Football Coach

Professor Stephen Befort was quoted in a Minnesota Public Radio article on the possible return to work of Minnesota State University Mankato football coach Todd Hoffner, following the dismissal of criminal charges that alleged he had recorded pornographic videos on a university-provided phone. Befort explained that it is not unusual for an employer to wait for the outcome of criminal charges before concluding its own employment-related investigation. Befort stated that under the term's of Hoffner's employment contract, "the question is whether or not they have good, objective grounds to terminate him." Befort went on to state that the fact that Hoffner is not being prosecuted criminally undercuts that likelihood.
