Breaking: Hebrew U Prof fired, banned from campus in settlement of sexual harassment claim - UPDATED

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem has reached a settlement with a 'senior lecturer' (whose name is not disclosed in the University President's letter) that bans him from teaching or counseling students, bans him from the Mount Scopus campus for a year and a half, and prohibits him from participating in academic conferences on the campus for five years (link in Hebrew).

The professor also agreed to pay 'significant compensation' to the student whom he allegedly harassed.

The student has agreed not to make further complaints against the professor (which presumably includes criminal complaints).

Hmmm.

Hat Tip: Anonymous Hebrew U Student.

UPDATE 6:09 PM

The professor's name is here (link in Hebrew).

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
