Berkeley, we have a problem :
The dean of the law school of the University of California, Berkeley, sexually harassed his executive assistant over a period of several months, and then was allowed to stay on the job out of concern for his career after an internal investigation found her sexual harassment complaints to be justified, according to a lawsuit announced Wednesday.
The assistant, Tyann Sorrell, 41, said in papers filed Tuesday in Alameda County Superior Court, that the dean, Sujit Choudhry, hugged and kissed her almost daily, while she was at her desk and sometimes in public from September 2014 until March 2015.

In case you missed the Geoff Marcy saga, this isn’t the first time Berkeley executives seem to have blown it with regard to accusations of sexual harassment against very prominent members of their faculty and administration:
