Quote: "2004 it fired Igor Gamow, a controversial professor and inventor who'd been a fixture on the Boulder campus for nearly thirty years -- and had been a magnet for harassment complaints stemming from a series of incidents involving female staff and students stretching back to the 1980s.
Unfortunately, the move came a decade or more too late for women who say they were subject to unwanted attentions and even assaults by Gamow. On Thursday, a federal jury awarded $285,000 in damages to one of those women,"
