Hopefully, focus of these complaints will expand to include those complaints filed against professors as well as those complaints filed against students. In regard to Columbia U, there are at least 2 professors with complaints filed against them during the last 12 months; both are still teaching. One, oddly enough was moved from graduate school to Barnard. An undergrad all women's school isn't where most people would transfer a man against which 1, never mind more than 1, complaint has been filed. What's more, all 3 complaints that I am aware of cite these professors use of federal grants, departmental approvals on papers, tests and diplomas, as means of retaliation against students who rejected their harassment and asked Columbia U administration to 'run interference'/help them to transfer away from/avoid the harasser.
