The Chronicle News Blog: Judge Orders U. of Georgia to Clear Former Dean of Harassment Accusations
A federal district judge has ordered the University of Georgia to rescind its finding that John Soloski, a former dean of its Grady College of Journalism, had sexually harassed a female co-worker by making two comments about her appearance.
The co-worker, Janet Kendall Jones, said Mr. Soloski had created a hostile work environment by commenting on the color of her eyes in October 2004, and by remarking in April 2005 that a dress she was wearing “really shows off your assets.” Mr. Soloski acknowledged that he had made those remarks but said they were not meant to be sexual.
