I'd love to see the email that Joan Slavin, the Director of the OSHP, actually sent. She is so in the firing line, however this goes down - and she's a lawyer, so she should know better. Incidentally "lawyer" is #2 in the list of professions chosen by unempathic psychopaths, which probably explains why she would communicate such an ambiguously vacillating decision to an apparently hypersensitive student by email, rather than face to face.

LaskyaClaren wrote: I have no better an idea than you what happened. But if the university's Office for Sexual Harassment Prevention DID investigate, and found that a professor engaged in " unwelcome and inappropriate sexual advances," then they at least should have acted. The "social media communications and text messages" the student allegedly sent the Professor in the days after the incident, which the university might have been provided access to and which might have indicated that advances might not only be welcomed, but encouraged, might have had something to do with the university (not) acting as they did.

Well, nowadays it's easy to integrate all the stuff yourself so you just buy any computer system you want. I gave up on Apple as a business solution when one of their salesman assured me that while PCs offered double entry accounting, they offered triple entry! Wooja . . . believethisisntafoursomesjoke

The recent OBR event relating to the incidence of sexual violence against women raised my awareness of this story. What is your view? Despite the complete lack of evidence, do you think the Professor took advantage of his supposed position of authority over a naive young student, or do you think that she went into the situation with eyes wide open, anticipating a free pass on her grades, and when that was denied, she decided to claim against the university so she wouldn't need to tend bar for four years to pay her bills? I suggest that you read the details very carefully, and you might wish to do some research on the background of the two individuals involved before you express any impetuous views.
