Quote: "Princeton University terminated Sergio Verdu, former Eugene Higgins Professor of Electrical Engineering, for violating a policy prohibiting sexual relationships between professors and students they supervise or evaluate, NJ.com reported. Verdu was previously disciplined, via additional sexual harassment training, for misconduct in 2017, after a graduate student said he invited her over to his home to watch movies involving sex and then touched her on her upper thigh and stomach.
