"An assistant professor in the University of Arizona’s college of public health parted ways with the school last week, after an internal investigation found that he sexually harassed a student last fall."
"In April, the UA emailed the woman, saying that it had completed its investigation and found that it was “more probable than not” that Stupiansky violated UA policy by kissing her when he knew or should’ve known she was incapable of consenting, according to a letter issued by the OIE."
"In a second letter sent to the woman on Monday, Office of Institutional Equity director Kristen Klotz said that in relation to the investigation, determination and recommendation, Stupiansky “is no longer employed by or affiliated with” the UA."

"Timothy Frederick Slater, now holds a prestigious position at the University of Wyoming, where he conducts research and mentors graduate students. But a 2004 investigation at Arizona concluded that Slater created a hostile work environment by regularly subjecting students and employees to unwanted sexual conduct — such as gifting a student a cucumber-shaped vibrator, going to strip clubs for lunch and openly commenting on women’s bodies."
