I doubt he thought he was doing anything of the sort. He was only thinking about what he wanted. The problem isn’t sexual repression, it’s men like him not thinking about women as human beings.
I think that he should have been permitted to continue in his career, but with regular and thorough beatings by people who specialize in such activity.
It’s nice to see that this guy actually stepped down. When I in college, it was known that a certain department head/professor was sexually harassing a particular young lady. She complained. College did nothing because of the professor’s tenure. I knew about this because I was in the same study groups as this woman.…
Recent studies have shown that this guy is a piece of shit.
Most of the women speaking out now never reported it at the time. Gotta speak up, otherwise bad behavior is allowed to continue.
While doing astronomy-type things, he broke the law...
Because not sexually harassing your co-workers is pretty much a fundamental expectation of most jobs.... Astronomer included.
Because he’s not just an astronomer. He’s a professor.
