Resigned
Quote:
"The university has also prematurely stopped investigating employees accused of sexual harassment or sexual assault many times after the accused person resigned." “In 2013, a student reported that a professor was sexually harassing female students. The complainant stated that she knew at least four students with whom the professor had had a sexual relationship. When interviewed, a female professor said that several students had complained about this professor’s conduct towards female students. The documents provided to OCR contained a draft Title IX investigation report, concluding that the respondent behaved inappropriately with students and recommending a letter of expectations of behavior from the Dean. The investigation was not completed, and neither a final report with findings nor a letter from the Dean was issued.”
