Professor Appeals Title IX Firing | San Jose News

A biology professor at College of Marin, with decades of tenure, is fighting a Title IX firing order after a 90-page report accused him of sexual harassment, discrimination, and assault — incidents tied to past training violations. Though he claims the appeal was delayed due to a technical glitch, the college accepted it and he remains on paid leave.

A new lawyer will review the appeal, with a final decision expected in August. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
