Chicago Sun-Times: Sexual harassment case divides college
CHICAGO | Northeastern Illinois students bring charges, saying school let accused off easy
Miguel Parra, former president of the International Honor Society in Education at Northeastern Illinois University and a straight-A student, called it an “inappropriate attempt at humor.” But the female student whose breast he touched during class and another who says he attempted to touch her thought it was criminal — not funny.
The case has split faculty and administrators at Northeastern, too. The chairwoman of the department of physical education kicked Parra out of school for a year, but then was stunned when a dean on campus overruled her and ordered him back in class.
