The video is nice, but a bit hard to read, so I’ve taken the liberty of making some screen grabs (click to enlarge).
The initial complaint:
Dr. Evans’s initial response:
Findings of Human Resources:
Letter from Evans to President Murphy:
President Murphy has no hesitation in disciplining Dr. Evans.
Dr. Evans tries to clear things up:
I may transcribe them later. Once again, a petition can be found here: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/freedebate/
Additional: Demurelemur has links to the original complaint. Clearly, the issue is more complicated than it first appears, as most interpersonal matters leading to harassment claims are.
Even more additional: Dr. Evans has made several more comments on the Pharyngula blog; search for comments by “evansd66#3f76d”.
Yet more additional: Bumping the link to the full set of letters from the comments to the main post.
I don't know if you're aware, but you've left out the second part of Dr. Evan's colleague's complaint. The second part explains that the fruit bat article incident was just one in a sequence of events that made her uncomfortable. According to her, these include over-enthusiastic hugging and cheek-kissing, unwanted compliments about her physical appearance, lying to her about his qualifications, and spreading rumours about the special nature of his relationship with her and her husband. I don't know whether or not these allegations are true, but I applaud UCC's response. Sexual harrassment complaints need to be taken seriously.
ReplyDeletedemurelemur: As I noted, I took the documents from Dr. Evans' YouTube video, which did not include that information. If you or anyone else can provide a link to the information mentioned, I'll gladly update, or write a new post, etc. I'm all about evidence.
