Nearly 30 students gathered in Argue Plaza Monday calling for the firing of Professor James Moore after he wrote that “accusers sometimes lie” in an email to the entire Price School of Public Policy last week.

The rally, which was organized by Price students Joelle Montier and Audrey Mechling, came after an extensive email chain prompted by Moore’s reply to an invitation for an event called “Coffee and Title IX” organized by Price Women and Allies.

“If the day comes you are accused of some crime or tort of which you are not guilty, and you find your peers automatically believing your accuser, I expect you find yourself a stronger proponent of due process protections than you are now,” Moore wrote on Thursday. “Accusers sometimes lie.”

Montier called for the firing of Moore and said he should be disciplined “at the highest level possible” at USC. The protesters also held up posters with statements such as “Fire James Moore,” “I am not a liar” and “Believe women.”

James Moore, a professor at Price, sent an email last week to all students of the school defending due process in sexual assault allegations. Moore said in the email, "accusers sometimes lie."
