Person: NAME UNKNOWN
Role: Faculty
Position:
Discipline: Arts and Humanities

Outcome Year: 2017
Outcome Category: Fine / Salary Reduction, Official Warning / Reprimand
Quote: "Another complainant said the music lecturer would tell her sexualized comments he made to other students like, “If this composer was here, he’d want to seduce you.”

The male subject denied the allegations against him, but the Title IX office concluded that the conduct “more likely than not did occur” and that the music lecturer had violated UC sexual harassment policy.

As a result of the investigation, the male subject received a 10 percent salary reduction and a written censure."

Incident 7658

Status: Resolved
Role: Faculty
Position: Professor
Discipline: Social and Behavioral Sciences
Specific Discipline: Anthropology
Outcome Year: 2017
Outcome Category: Retired
Quote: "The only full-time professor named in UCSB documents was Gurinder Singh Mann, a professor of global studies.

The Title IX office received a complaint in May 2013 from a female student alleging that Mann acted inappropriately with sexual conduct, both verbal and physical, during a research discussion meeting at Mann’s home.

Mann retired in 2015 but was a professor at the time of the investigation, which began in May 2013."

"Following an investigation, the Title IX office concluded in August 2013 that all such claims “more likely than not did occur” and that Mann had violated the UC’s sexual harassment policy.

The documents do not indicate actions taken by the university, and Mann has since been a guest lecturer at UCSB after his retirement."
