Quote:
"The former head of the University of Cincinnati’s journalism department resigned this month amid an internal investigation into claims that he sexually harassed students in his class. A formal complaint was filed against tenured professor Brian Calfano in April 2024 after a colleague reported to UC’s Office of Equal Opportunity, which investigated possible violations of Title IX, a law protecting students from sex discrimination in programs benefiting from federal financial assistance.
Calfano tendered his resignation by email on Jan. 5, saying that his departure would take effect immediately. He left the university for a nighttime news anchor job at Fox 43 in Kansas. "
