Yet this guy is still a liberal. Some people just never learn.
Tenured professor fired despite being cleared by Title IX investigation

It's hard to know whether this guy's behavior was actually inappropriate or not, given all that we have is his own description of it. Dating your very recent ex-advisee while you are married is at least not a strong show of character. If he felt he could not prepare for his interview because he didn't know which student they were talking about, it seems likely that this was serial behavior.
Regardless of how he behaved, though, there surely should have been a fair and transparent process. I am also not sold on current standards of sexual misconduct.

In his admittedly biased account, there doesn't seem to have been any relationship?

A guy called Kafka even wrote a weird book about it.

What does signing that letter have to do with anything? Obviously Junior has no qualifications for addressing a college audience. He’s inherited money, never accomplished anything significant on his own. I’d sign that letter too. That doesn’t mean I deserve to lose my job over bogus allegations.

If you don't understand "Salami slicing" as a political strategy or why free speech standards are important, at this stage of the game, your goose is practically already cooked.

Signing a letter complaining of poor choice of campus speakers hardly constitutes a free speech restriction. Get serious, children.

When it comes to free speech, it happened incrementally.
You start with Milo ("he is a troll"), you then go to Shapiro ("he is not a troll but he is an academic"), then you move on to Peterson ("he is an academic, but not a top one and he makes mistakes") and then eventually you are cancelling John Finnis("he is a top academic and he doesn't make mistakes, but his views are offensive") or Steve Hsu ("he is studying what he shouldn't") and anyone to the right of center.

No, he takes it to court and loses. He even says she was enrolled while they were in a relationship. While he claims the hours were a “technicality,” she was still a student until she actually graduated. That’s how these things are structured. He’s writing this from the most flattering point of view possible. Don’t you think he looked into it?
You guys are the best. If this was an easy case, he’d of course have filed and won. It’s a sure loser.
Yeah. My point is that if the provost fires him he takes it to court and wins.
Did any of you read the whole article? He hired lawyers right away, and the school held an internal hearing after he was cleared of the title IX charge. The provost was the prosecutor. When it was clear he was going to lose, he resigned instead of being fired.
He did, I just think he didn’t do it fast enough, and frankly tired of the ordeal and didn’t force the Provost’s hand.
Why didnt he hire a lawyer????
They would have paid him hundreds of thousands in compensation for getting rid of him -
So don’t deplatform this prof for signing a letter.
I'm not deplatforming him. I'm agreeing with 622e.
Free speech fell because people didn't defend it in earlier cases and allowed the mobs to increase their scope and power.
It is similar to the case of statues. You allow mobs to tear down statues of defeated generals, now they are trying to tear down statues of George Washington and even of Saint Louis.
