Quote:
"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."
