Conflict in higher education.
A fired Louisiana State University (LSU) professor has filed a lawsuit that could gut the Obama administration’s guidelines on what constitutes campus sexual harassment.
Teresa Buchanan, a tenured education professor, was fired by LSU in June 2015, roughly a year after school officials claimed that unspecified “inappropriate comments” she had made in the classroom violated the school’s sexual harassment policy. Colleges are obliged to punish sexual harassment under the federal government’s Title IX law, which allows for schools to lose all federal funding if they are found to have created or tolerated a hostile sexual environment on campus.
