Quote: "Murphy had involved himself both emotionally and physically...thereby creating a hostile and intimidating environment with which she was forced to contend. ...Murphy's conduct was inconsistent with the moral standards of the University and the ethical standards of its professorate."

"informed Murphy that he would be permitted to complete his teaching assignments that semester, but would then be suspended until June 1, 1992.   Murray directed Murphy to seek professional counseling to insure that he would not engage in any such conduct during the suspension"

"“[t]he University has, by abundantly clear and convincing evidence, established more than sufficient grounds to support the finding of serious misconduct by Professor Murphy and consequent termination of Cornelius F. Murphy, Jr. as a tenured professor at Duquesne University.”"
