The Chronicle News Blog: Bethune-Cookman U. Fires 4 Faculty Members for Sexual Harassment

Four faculty members at Bethune-Cookman University have been fired for sexually harassing female students, university officials announced today.

The university in Daytona Beach, Fla., did not name the faculty members or provide details of the alleged harassment. In a written statement, it said it had hired an independent investigator after a female student confided in a faculty member, who urged her to file a formal complaint with the university’s president, Trudie Kibbe Reed.
