NASHUA, N.H. (AP) – A former student at Daniel Webster College says the school didn’t do enough to protect him from a bully, who he says beat him with a lacrosse stick while he slept and harassed him throughout the campus.

Jerif Vilardo says the bullying forced him to drop out of college. He is suing the school.

Within two weeks after Vilardo arrived at the private college, another student “began bullying, hazing, harassing, assaulting and abusing (the) plaintiff in his dorm room, at the school cafeteria and elsewhere on campus,” according to Vilardo’s suit, filed last month in Hillsborough Country Superior Court.

Vilardo, of Ticonderoga, N.Y., says the other student continued to harass him even after being kicked out of school.

At one point the other student, who is not named in the suit, broke into Vilardo’s room while Vilardo was sleeping and beat him with a lacrosse stick.

Vilardo charges that the other student had a history of abusive behavior, and college officials knew or should have known about it. He also says the dormitories lacked sufficient supervision.

School officials and Vilardo’s attorney declined to comment. The college has until Nov. 6 to respond to the lawsuit.
