I had a friend that lost his tenure track position because a female student said, without proof, that he made suggestive comments to her. He was able to show she was lying but was still not renewed.
I do not miss the university job setting.
This PC crap can happen to women too. My wife had a friend who in middle age divorced her brute husband, went back to school and got her degree and teaching certificate. Her first job involved supervising the kids riding the bus. She made the mistake of restraining one little black boy by putting her hand on his shoulder. Evidently, touching a misbehaving child was not permitted. She was fired.
Her next job was at an all minority school. All the other teachers and the principal were black. She got along well with most of the teachers and she was pleased with her students’ progress, but her principal took every opportunity to criticize her: the ABCs on the wall were hung in the wrong place; the displays she had worked hard on were not appropriate; she spent more than six minutes on each lesson topic; etc, etc. (Can you believe a teacher’s lesson plan had to be in 6 minute segments?) Anyway the principal made it plain that a white teacher should not teach black children. By the end of the fall term, she couldn’t stand it anymore and quit.
That was the end of her teaching career. No one would hire her. She went to work at WalMart. Eventually, she sought better wages and was hired as a prison guard. The stories coming out of that job were not pretty.
