"“Upon learning of the complaint against Dr. Giacomini in June of 2018, Stanford placed him on leave and relieved him of any responsibilities at the university,” said Stanford spokeswoman Julie Greicius. “As a result of the investigation’s findings, Dr. Giacomini was given the notice necessary to terminate his contract. During that period, he chose to retire. Dr. Giacomini did not resume any of his responsibilities at Stanford after being placed on leave in June 2018, and is no longer a Stanford faculty member.”"

"He had “groomed [Jeanne] to be his advisee even before [she] arrived at Stanford” and “blurred the lines of a professional and overly personal advisor-advisee relationship” with her, Associate Dean of Humanities and Sciences Debra Satz and Acting Interim Title IX Coordinator Sallie Kim wrote in the case outcome letter. They added that Barletta “should be counseled and warned regarding establishing and maintaining appropriate advisor-advisee relationships.”
Despite the findings, Barletta kept his job and continued to formally advise graduate students. And several years later, he would be involved in another Title IX case with a different female graduate student. "

"Stanford University has settled two sexual harassment claims by demoting one faculty member and forcing a second into retirement, according to Stanford News Service.
Both claims involved the School of Medicine, which was also involved in two high-profile sexual harassment cases several years ago, prompting Stanford to implement a new policy of investigating sexual harassment complaints and protecting such victims from faculty retaliation.
Dr. Thomas Stamey has been removed from his position as chairman of the Department of Urology and has taken a permanent reduction in pay, in addition to contributing financially to the woman staff member who accused him of harassment.
Stamey agreed to the settlement but denied he had harassed the woman.
In the second case, Dr. Seymour Levine has retired from his position in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Levine was accused of harassment in 1993 by Helen Bae, a research assistant, who filed a claim with the university and a lawsuit. Both have been settled."
