The flava:Concluding he didn’t violate any school policy, a state appeals court panel has backed the reinstatement of a Bloomsburg University professor who was fired for having sexual relationships with two female students.
The Commonwealth Court ruling upholds a June 2018 arbitrator’s decision that voided the termination of Assistant Professor John Barrett. University officials had appealed that award, which the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties union secured on Barrett’s behalf. The arbitrator ordered Barrett’s reinstatement with full benefits and back pay.
In the state court’s opinion, Judge P. Kevin Brobson noted the relationships between Barrett and the women were consensual, that neither woman was taking classes from Barrett at the time, and that the relationships were not barred by the university’s sexual harassment policy.

Not sure that's the right link. I had to check as I used to work with a John Barrett, although I'm assuming it's a different one.

Thanks, EC1.
DeleteYou're right.
I'm sorry the original post had the wrong link.
No worries. Seeing the name John Barrett gave me a jolt, although I'm sure it's a pretty common name.
