Quote:
"Anthony Wolbarst, a faculty member in the department of clinical sciences, was investigated twice in 2012 for inappropriate comments and retaliation against whoever reported it, according to the cover letter from the university’s investigative file.
“The ... finding is that Dr. Wolbarst has ignored the warnings and information given to him previously and is clearly in violation of the university’s policy prohibiting both harassment and retaliation,” the Oct. 30, 2012, letter says. “The office therefore recommends that Dr. Wolbarst should not continue in his position as a faculty member at the University of Kentucky.”
By Jan. 30, 2013, Wolbarst and UK had come to an agreement that would “resolve this matter without the need for further cost or expense and without the need to continue the investigation.”
Under the agreement, Wolbarst would resign Sept. 30 and receive about half of his $126,344 salary and any accrued vacation pay during the six months, although he would not report to work. The agreement forbade him from having contact with students or from suing UK, but gave him full retirement benefits."
