I don't know what to think.
If the allegations were serious enough, and there was enough evidence, then, yes, get rid of him.
However, it is getting to the point, where if you to ask someone out, they do not have to tell you no, they can just call it sexual harassment, because they say it was an unwanted advancement.
For Rich Rod, this, in my opinions, does not apply, seeing as how he is married. And he has had an extramarital affair in his past --- yet, an offer is not harassment until it is clearly unwanted & repeated.
Or, at least it use to be.
I just hope that the University Administration did a real investigation, and did not simply say, "Well, he was accused, so let's take the initiative we're expected to".
But the person who is alleging misconduct, is suing the University for $7.5 million. I do not like were this sort of thing is going, if people can just make an allegation, hoping for a giant payday.
It also doesn't make the school look very good, if the alleged occurrence is unsubstantiated, yet you fir the guy anyway --- makes the plaintiff's lawyer smile when you do thing such as that --- especially if the claim cannot be proven.
The accuser's lawyer can say, "Your honor, the University must believe there was something credible in my client's complaint. Why else would they have terminated the offender's position?"
Dumb move Arizona.
