The guy should go, this is a shame for Harvard faculty
Fryer suspended

I think the stuff about misappropriating funds, the details of which have not been made public, is probably more serious (i.e. would stand up in a courtroom). The threat of making the details public will probably constrain what Fryer can say/do publicly regarding the harassment charges.
Yep.

Yup. Guilty until proven innocent. Gotta prove accusations false and not the other way around.
What are you talking about? Harvard did nothing until they looked at all the evidence they could find and did all the interviews they could do and completed their investigation. If they assumed he was guilty from the beginning then they would have done something like keep him on payroll but forbidden from teaching and advising.
Seriously, what are you talking about?If you are telling me that he is being punished without any evidence of wrong doing then he should simply sue the university. Plain and simple. But 99% of the people on EJMR are simply talking based on what has been coming out of in news articles and then this decision from Harvard is Harvard saying that they investigated everything and actually found something they can't ignore. So almost all of us have to stick to what comes out and what official decisions validate what comes out in the press.
Yes, suing Harvard university on an open-shut case is as easy as open-shut. Please have a conversation with Asian Americans....

Academia has to be the only place where you can sexually harass people and then get a two year vacation where your job will still be there when you get back.
Except he didn't sexually harass anyone. and two years w/o pay is hardly a vacation. if you want paid vacation you should be an incompetent high school teachers impossible to fire due to the power of teacher union.

Is there precedent for 2 years unpaid suspension after being cleared by Title IX?
Fryer is going sue the f$ck outta them. And he's going to win big.Harvard is using the harsh sanctions to drive Fryer out. They hope he will just resign. Big miscalculation! If Fryer sues he will win. He will not go away and will get his lab back.
