The
case involves a former head of cardiology who professed his love to a
young Italian researcher at the school and sought to intervene in her
relationship with a fellow cardiologist under his supervision.
A
university committee recommended that he be permanently removed from
his position, but the provost reduced that penalty to an 18-month
suspension.
After
that decision, The New York Times obtained extensive documents related
to the case and interviewed 18 faculty members who expressed anger at
how it had been handled, with no public acknowledgment of wrongdoing.
After The Times contacted Yale last week, the university announced that
the former cardiology chief, Dr. Michael Simons, “had decided” not to
return to his post.
The
case involving faculty at one of the nation’s leading medical schools
comes as dozens of colleges are under scrutiny by the federal government
for their handling of sexual misconduct allegations against students.
The times misspelled the name of the president of Yale. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteHe is related to the brisker rav.
Can we expect a letter from the CBD calling on all Jewish students to leave Yale, and demanding that they be stripped of their accreditation unless the board and administration is completely changed?
ReplyDeleteNwe haven has its own bet din: rabbi Danny grier. He's prob connected to Yale (even though his daughter was one of the Yale five) but he's open minded enough.
