The story goes back to 2011 when Law Professor Raymond Ku alleges that he saw the dean, Lawrence Mitchell, caressing a female member of staff at a party. Professor Ku claims that he heard of other women who had also been harassed by the dean. In the lawsuit, he alleges that he passed on this information to three senior managers at the school. He then claims that he suffered retaliation. The university has just responded, issuing a statement which, according to Cleveland.com, says: 'This situation is categorically not an instance of retaliation. Professor Ku continues to hold a full-time, tenured faculty position at the School of Law. The lawsuit itself includes inaccuracies, as well as an inflammatory flier that has been found to be materially false. The university will have additional comment upon more thorough review of the suit and opposing counsel's press release.'
