Dive Brief:
- The University of Colorado at Boulder has placed an associate philosophy professor on leave and barred him from campus.
- In an email from the department chairman, faculty members were told to call police if they see him on campus.
- The professor's leave comes after the school released a report on sexual harassment and bullying in the department, but there was no indication the action was connected to that and neither the school nor the professor would address the specifics of the situation.
Dive Insight:
Police were there as students showed up for what would have been the professor's latest class, but a university spokesman said that their presence was routine when the school takes a "personnel action." As for the professor, he would only tell a reporter that it would be "highly irresponsible" to comment.
