Quote: "In 2016, OIE officials warned Foran of anonymous complaints about his behavior. The warning made “so little impression on [Foran]” that he didn’t remember if he hugged a student before dropping her off, according to an OIE report.

Three years later, Foran was found to have violated MSU’s sexual misconduct policy for inappropriately touching and having overly personal communication with four students and for retaliatory behavior after students refused to attend social events."

"Michigan State University professor David Foran has officially resigned after a university investigation concluded he sexually harassed four students.
A university spokesperson confirmed Foran officially resigned before the university had the opportunity to officially fire him. " "Foran resigned as of June 3"
