Quote: "Part of the administration's response, according to Dean Benjamin, included a formal letter to Professor Young emphasizing what behavior the school expected of its professors and explaining what actions Dean Benjamin would take.

Within days of the counseling session, Professor Young, who had nearly thirty years of teaching experience, discussed the possibility of retirement.   Dean Benjamin agreed that Young's voluntary departure from SUNY New Paltz would be in the best interest of all parties.   On March 18, 1999, Young tendered his resignation, which was promptly accepted."
