Quote: "accused Stephen Dobyns, a respected author and tenured professor in the program, of sexual harassment after he allegedly made a comment about her breasts at an off-campus party on the night of March 31, 1995. After the alleged comment, a short, heated exchange of words between the two occurred. It ended when Dobyns threw his drink in Cotter’s face.

In summer 1995, SU ... suspended the professor for two years starting in April 1995. Dobyns would eventually resign."
