Quote:
"a Salisbury University panel concluded an investigation and found that physics professor Asif Shakur violated the school’s sexual harassment policy by inappropriately touching a student’s breasts and buttocks."
"As a result of its findings, the Fair Practices Panel recommended Shakur be sanctioned in addition to receiving a written reprimand and suspension without pay during the fall 2010 semester.
The panel suggested the professor receive counseling to better educate himself on sexual harassment and appropriate student-teacher relationships and recommended he not be allowed to return to his position until he can provide documentation that he completed the counseling."
