Quote:
"university investigators concluded Beitz violated the UW System’s sexual harassment and consensual relationship policies"
"The University of Wisconsin System reached a $325,000 settlement with a former student who says UW-Oshkosh violated her rights and acted "with deliberate indifference" to the sexual harassment she faced from one of her professors.
The former student, A.R. in court documents, sued in October, claiming the university violated her Title IX rights when it failed to take action against former art professor Michael Beitz."
