Harvard prof Theidon lawsuit

rof · Apr 6, 2015

A former Harvard associate professor is pursuing a federal Title IX lawsuit against the university, alleging she was discriminated against while trying to secure tenure there in 2013.

Kimberly Theidon, a medical anthropologist who recently was granted tenure at Tufts University, filed the lawsuit last month. In it, she accuses Harvard of punishing her for defending victims of sexual assault.

Theidon says she filed suit because she doesn’t want Harvard to retaliate against any other professors who speak out in support of students.

...

“And that means that if we’re perceived as someone who is going to be speaking out about these issues, they get rid of us,” Theidon said.

Harvard has adopted procedures for deciding cases of alleged sexual misconduct which lack the most basic elements of fairness and due process, are overwhelmingly stacked against the accused, and are in no way required by Title IX law or regulation.

Interesting, indeed.

The new Title IX rules are a slap in the face to all people who think due process is an important part of the pursuit of justice.
