Sexual Harassment and Assault in Higher Ed: What’s Happened Since Weinstein
ver since The New York Times published an explosive story gathering evidence
that the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein had been harassing and
assaulting women and covering it up for decades, almost every industry is
asking the same question: Who are our Harvey Weinsteins?
Propelled by admiration for those who have spoken out, fear that what
happened to them could happen to others, and anger at how long abusers have
gone unpunished, women have come forward in droves to report instances of
sexual assault by filing lawsuits, speaking with reporters, and posting
their accounts online, often using the hashtag #metoo. (Some men have also
used the hashtag to share stories of harassment and abuse.)
Academe is no exception. Since the revelations about widespread sexual
harassment in the film industry, at least a half-dozen allegations of sexual
misconduct by male faculty members have come to light or received renewed
attention. These stories are by no means new to college campuses, but their
momentum demonstrates that the fury unleashed by Mr. Weinstein’s apparent
misbehavior could have a longstanding impact on higher education. Here are
some of the cases that have emerged since in the Weinstein story broke in
mid-October:

Three Dartmouth College psychology professors are under investigation.
Last month, when posters appeared on Dartmouth’s campus calling attention
to the disappearance of two psychology professors, student reporters started
asking questions. Few details have emerged, but it is now clear that not
two, but three Dartmouth psychology professors have been put on leave and
are being investigated by the university and New Hampshire’s attorney
general for alleged "sexual misconduct." The professors are Todd Heatherton,
Bill Kelley, and Paul Whalen.
In an article about the investigation, The New York Times noted that Mr.
Heatherton and Mr. Kelley had conducted research in 2012 on eating habits
and sexual behavior that involved 58 freshmen women. But Dartmouth’s
president, Philip J. Hanlon, said the college’s investigation does not
involve the professors’ research, according to the Valley News.
Two former graduate students say they were raped by two former Stanford
University professors.
In an essay in Entropy, Seo-Young Chu, an associate professor of English at
Queens College of the City University of New York, wrote that in 2000 she
was raped by Jay Fliegelman, a scholar of American literature and culture
studies. (Mr. Fliegelman died in 2007.) Ms. Chu said she decided to publicly
accuse Mr. Fliegelman after a scholarly society named a mentorship award in
his honor — a decision it reversed after hearing her story.
A few days later, Kimberly S. Latta wrote on Facebook that Franco Moretti,
now an emeritus humanities professor, had "sexually stalked, pressured, and
raped" her in the mid-1980s when he was a visiting professor at the
University of California at Berkeley, where she was a graduate student. Ms.
Latta spoke to The Chronicle’s Katie Mangan, who wrote this report. Mr.
Moretti said that he and Ms. Latta had "consensual" sex and that he was "
horrified by the accusation" of rape.
More universities have been prompted to answer questions about alleged
misconduct by professors.
Oxford University announced last week that Tariq Ramadan, a professor of
contemporary Islamic studies, had taken a leave of absence "by mutual
agreement." Multiple women have accused Mr. Ramadan of rape or sexual
misconduct. He denies the charges, The Economist reported, and has called
them part of "a campaign of slander."
William V. Harris, a professor of history at Columbia University, withdrew
from teaching and other student-related activities after being accused of
sexually harassing a graduate student, according to lawyers representing the
student. A lawsuit was filed against Mr. Harris and the university a few
days before the news broke about Mr. Weinstein. The university announced at
the end of October that Mr. Harris had withdrawn from teaching.
The Boston Globe reported last week on allegations of sexual misconduct at
the Berklee College of Music, identifying "a culture of blatant sexual
harassment" and stating that three professors had been "allowed to quietly
leave since 2008, after students reported being assaulted, groped, or
pressured into sex with their teachers." After college leaders responded by
saying that the college has acted "swiftly and decisively" to remove
predatory professors, students protested what they considered an inadequate
response, according to Think Progress.
The Huffington Post reported last week that Princeton University had given
only a minor punishment to Sergio Verdú, an engineering professor who had
been found responsible this year for sexually harassing a graduate student.
Mr. Verdú was not suspended. He was required to take eight hours of
training, the student told HuffPost.
Signs naming students accused of sexual assault have stoked debate at
Morehouse and Spelman Colleges.
Tensions over sexual assault have swirled for years at Morehouse, a
historically black men’s college, and Spelman, a historically black women’
s college seen as Morehouse’s sister school. This month they were revived
when a campaign of signs on both campuses listed the names of male Morehouse
students and accused them of rape. On the Twitter hashtag #WeKnowWhatYouDid
, students and graduates shared stories of assault and took administrators
to task; others argued that the tactic of naming students was potentially
defamatory. Morehouse’s president, Harold L. Martin Jr., said in response
to the outrage that he had read "every single tweet."
Liberty U.’s leader weighed in on accusations of assault by a prospective U
.S. senator.
Five women have now publicly accused Roy Moore, the twice-removed Alabama
Supreme Court judge who is now a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate,
of either molesting them or pursuing a romantic relationship with them when
they were teenagers. Mr. Moore is an evangelical Christian, and the
accusations have prompted members of the evangelical community to choose
between defending the candidate and deploring him.
The leader of the most prominent evangelical institution in the U.S. was
quick to pick a side. Jerry Falwell Jr., president of Liberty University,
shared his thoughts with Religion News Service the day after The Washington
Post reported on the first accusations against Mr. Moore. "It comes down to
a question who is more credible in the eyes of the voters — the candidate
or the accuser," said Mr. Falwell, who endorsed Mr. Moore and has been a
vociferous supporter of President Trump. Mr. Falwell went on to tell the
news service that "I believe the judge is telling the truth."
