On Sunday, I talked to a friend whom I have known for over 40 years. He teaches history at the University of Minnesota. He said that at his previous university employment, he talked to his woman boss. She said that she had interviewed 10 females at that university and that 9 of them said that they had been sexually harassed by professors. My friend said that the next new area just waiting to be exposed is that of male professors exploiting female undergraduate and graduate students, and female adjunct and assistant professors (who don’t yet have tenure).
The professors are much like Hollywood producers in terms of the power that they can have over the students’ future careers. Their recommendation, or lack thereof, can largely determine if a student will be able to eventually get a future teaching gig. I would like to hear back from the college professors on FR about this matter.

Which has been going on for eons.
From both of them?
