Harvard University has suspended an economics professor accused of sexual harassment after a probe determined he “engaged in unwelcome conduct,” according to a report.

Roland G. Fryer Jr., 42, was placed on a two-year administrative leave and his campus research lab will permanently shutter as a result of the investigation, the Harvard Crimson reported Wednesday.

The prof in trouble is black.

Why isn't anyone shouting raycism or white privilege?

[FenwickBabbitt]

Just wait, we probably will. Then we will see another round of the intersectionality olympics.

[House Atreides]

Hmmm.. two year “administrative leave”? Does that mean he’s on a two year paid vacation?

[grey_whiskers]

I forgot to check to see whether he already has tenure.

Of course, with #PoundMeToo, that's no protection.

Drop in a comma after the word probe in the head line and it makes the whole (not hole) thing much more sinister sounding.

Bet he’s a strong proponent of capitalism

>>In one of the complaints, the accuser said Fyrer “objectified and sexualized” women, including staffers,...<<

Will they ever recover from the trauma? /s

[JennysCool]

“Unwelcome conduct.” That’s a new one.

These PC freaks need to start leaving actual humans alone. And the media needs to stop promoting their BS.

[Mark17]

“Unwelcome conduct.” That’s a new one.

Some slime bag somewhere, is going to say, “unwelcome conduct,” means some guy is living in the same country as them. S/

“Does that mean he’s on a two year paid vacation?”

Likely, yes.

[JOHN ADAMS]

Here’s the problem: he wrote a study finding that the police don’t kill blacks more often than non-blacks. https://scholar.harvard.edu/fryer/publications/empirical-analysis-racial-differences-police-use-force
So he must be destroyed.

[CARTOUCHE]

Unwelcome conduct...

Think of Mr. Sniffer of Delaware. Obama’s token.

That is both necessary and sufficient explanation.

“The sanctions against the star faculty member come a year after a former employee claimed he sexually harassed her. Several other women then came forward with similar accusations”

Probably told the techs that they were expected to show up at work on time.

[Chode]

two year administrative leave, is that like a two year paid vacation?

[Freedom4US]

No, that’s been part of the lexicon for a long time. I pointed that out to a supervisor years agonizing. She laughed.

If anything, that part willl go away, or is already on the way out.
