Quote:
"On December 13, 2013, the provost sent Wolfe's counsel a formal statement of the charges, which alleged that Wolfe
has engaged in “disruption of ․ teaching, research, administrative, disciplinary, public service, or other authorized activity” by creating a hostile environment based on sexual harassment in violation of University Policy and applicable law. In addition, Dr. Wolfe has exhibited a pattern of inappropriate interaction with others, which behavior has continued despite multiple training sessions and despite Dr. Wolfe's own expressions of recognition and regret."
"On May 19, Keel notified Wolfe by letter of his termination for cause, concluding:
I have reviewed the Committee's work and find the following charges sustained: violation of the University's Policy Prohibiting Sexual Harassment and policy entitled, “Harassment in the Workplace”; and a pattern of inappropriate interaction with others, which behavior has continued despite multiple training sessions ․ and expressions of recognition and regret.
Wolfe then sought review of Keel's decision by the Board of Regents. On August 20, 2014, the Board sent Wolfe a letter declining his application for review and advising that “[t]his is the final action to be taken by the Board in this case.”"
