Quote:
"A veteran professor at the University of Washington who was suspended for sexually harassing three female students has retired rather than face charges from six former students.
Sol Saporta, a professor of linguistics at the university since 1960, was suspended without pay in May for one year after charges against him were sustained by two campus committees that concluded Mr. Saporta had sexually harassed three students."
