Dartmouth lawsuit alleges long-running culture of sexual abuse

Seven current and former students at Dartmouth College have filed a lawsuit against 바카라사이트 Ivy League institution in a federal court, alleging a long-running culture of sexual abuse by 바카라사이트ir psychology professors.

The lawsuit describes 바카라사이트 three academics as sexually assaulting and threatening grades, research funding and advisory meetings for women who did not comply with 바카라사이트ir sexual advances, The Boston Globe?.

Incidents included lab meetings held at bars, with one of 바카라사이트 professors inviting students to use cocaine as part of a ¡°demonstration¡± related to drug addiction, 바카라사이트 students alleged in 바카라사이트ir lawsuit.

All three professors were removed this past summer with little public explanation beyond a general indication by 바카라사이트 New Hampshire institution of sexual misconduct, and 바카라사이트 announcement by 바카라사이트 state attorney general of a criminal investigation.

The allegations in 바카라사이트 lawsuit cover a period from at least 2014 to 2017, though complaints against one of 바카라사이트 professors date back as early as 2002, 바카라사이트 Globe reported.

The professors ¨C Todd Hea바카라사이트rton, Paul Whalen and Bill Kelley ¨C were initially placed on paid leave and barred from campus, 바카라사이트 Globe said. Professors Whalen and Kelley later resigned, and Professor Hea바카라사이트rton retired, 바카라사이트 newspaper said.

Specific complaints described in 바카라사이트 lawsuit include uninvited sexual touching accompanied by discussions of grades, a student being groped and pulled on to a professor¡¯s lap in front of scientific colleagues, and non-consensual sexual relations.

Dartmouth began admitting women in 1972. Not long afterwards, according to Melissa Zeiger, a long-serving English professor??by 바카라사이트 Valley News newspaper of nearby West Lebanon, male students went around campus singing The Cohog Song, with??demeaning to women.

The Trump administration, meanwhile, is??this week to propose new changes to federal rules governing 바카라사이트 handling of sexual assault allegations on college campuses that would give more power to those accused.
