Yale has been accused of being insensitive to instances of harassment against women after facts about a sexual harassment case that has been unfolding for the past five years in the Yale School of Medicine came to light, according The New York Times.
Former cardiology chief Dr. Michael Simons allegedly professed his love to a young Italian researcher, Dr. Annarita Di Lorenzo, 18 years younger than him and attempted to interfere with her relationship with another cardiologist under his supervision, Dr. Frank Giordano.
The University-Wide Committee on Sexual Misconduct then found Simons guilty of sexual harassment and compromised decision-making regarding Giordano.
The committee called for him to be permanently removed from his position and for a five-year ban from all high administrative positions to be implemented, but instead the provost reduced this penalty to an 18-month suspension.
The New York Times interviewed 18 faculty members angered by the handling of the case and the public’s lack of awareness about the issue. Several medical school professors have questioned the values of the University-Wide Committee, and several senior women on the faculty and junior women of the cardiology department expressed concerns about his return in June 2015.
Yale announced last week that Simons decided not to return to his post.
