Quote:
"The University of Rochester has agreed to pay $9.4 million to settle a lawsuit brought by nine former faculty members and students who had accused the institution of discriminating and retaliating against them in a long-running sexual-harassment dispute." "In 2018, an outside investigation largely exonerated Jaeger of violating Rochester’s sexual-misconduct policies but found him responsible for “unprofessional and inappropriate behavior” years before. That conduct included talking and joking about sex, as well as engaging in consensual intimate relationships with students at a time when those were discouraged but not banned."
