Harvard Medical School Professor Resigns Amid Harassment Allegations. Harvey Makadon served as an LGBT advisor during his time as clinical professor of medicine at the Medical School.

The Harvard Crimson reports:

Facing accusations of sexual misconduct, physician and longtime Harvard Medical School professor Harvey J. Makadon resigned from his positions on the faculty at the Medical School and staff of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center last month.

Makadon, who had taught at the Medical School for decades, was accused of misconduct by several men, including World Bank health policy strategist Armin Fidler. Fidler claims that Makadon made unwanted advances toward him in 1990, while Fidler was a student at the Harvard School of Public Health, the Boston Globe reported Monday. He wrote to Harvard to report the alleged misconduct in November.

Fidler declined to comment for this story.

Gary R. Brissette, a Chestnut Hill doctor who completed his residency at Beth Israel, alleged that Makadon inappropriately touched him in the early 1990s. Another man, a patient who saw Makadon for treatment in the late 1980s, also claims that Makadon sexually harassed him.

In an interview Wednesday, Makadon repeatedly denied sexual harassment claims made by Fidler and others.

“I have no recollection of Dr. Fidler and I certainly did not behave in the way that he described,” he said.

Progressives take note. Has Harvard been a "threatening and hostile " work and learning environment for men for decades? Don't you be a science denier...
