This just in: The University of Wisconsin currently has by not one, not two, but nearly 100 sex scandals on its hands.
A male student from University of Wisconsin-Green Bay claims an instructor repeatedly contacted on Grindr asking for a hookup. Not only that, but the instructor allegedly touched the student during class.
Sexual relations between professors and students are against the university’s policy. Not only that, but they can raise legal issues under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
But, it turns out, this hardly an isolated incident.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel did an investigation into the entire University of Wisconsin system and found nearly 100 complaints of employee sexual misconduct against students, ranging from harassment to assault, have been formally investigated by the university between 2014 and 2017.
At least half of those investigations found claims were substantiated, resulting in the employee being warned and/or referred for sexual harassment awareness training.
“We are focused on changing the culture on our campuses and beyond so victims feel empowered to come forward,” UW System President Ray Cross said in a statement. “We have been implementing real, tangible approaches at our institutions to continue tackling these challenges.”

Same thing happening at University of Kentucky. They need to look into that.

So, “almost” half of “nearly” 100 claims over a three year period in a system of 180,000 students and 16,000 faculty spread over 26 campuses actually resulted in disciplinary actions?
Seriously, 13 claims a year for an institution that size is admirable. Don’t pretend to be journalists if you aren’t at least going to try to do the math and add a little context.

Actually, zero would be admirable. These are college professors and support staff, that are paid via tuition and state funds. Is it too much to ask that they not sexually harass and assault students? Is that how low we are setting the bar these days? Smh

Excellent points. And the almost half of nearly 100 complaints range from “harassment” to sexual assault. But what is “harassment”? Under many university codes, “harassment” can be a joke or a comment or a social media post, even if it was not intended to offend and even if it was not directed at any particular person. We would want to know how many of these almost half of nearly 100 complaints are “harassment” and what conduct was alleged to constitute that “harassment.”

Another way to fire gay people. Let the witch hunt begins…

As a gay man who has attended 3 seperate campuses in the system for 5 years now I can say that such incidents are (almost) unheard of and are not representative of the system of a whole. Certainly they arent common enough to represent any sort of problem in the system. Based on the punishments according to this article alone, no instances were even severe enough to warrant any criminal charges since “harassment training” was enough remediation. Unless Graham wants to talk about how the koch brothers rigged the governer’s election he should stick to other states because wisconsin doesnt have any other major problems aside from that.

Hi there. It’s really interesting article, i’m glad to read it. Especially i like this part: “We are focused on changing the culture on our campuses and beyond so victims feel empowered to come forward”. I’ve wrote article about The University of Wisconsin currently and sex scandals there at https://pro-papers.com/gb/gender-equality-writing-service and the question of sex scandals is very important in present days.

Wow! This is awful… I hope that he will be arrested. I heard that he provided an essay help at https://paperleaf.ca/essay-help/ to help his students with learning.
