And it isn't just a problem at Berkeley, either. Other universities, such as the University of Kentucky, have also allowed faculty accused of sexual harassment or assault to quietly resign rather than being firing outright or facing criminal charges. Documents obtained by the school newspaper showed that a UK professor was investigated for allegedly sexually assaulting and harassing students, but a settlement with the school allowed him to resign, dodging the disciplinary process and making it possible for him to work at other schools without disclosing the allegations.
