A Tel Aviv University disciplinary tribunal convicted a professor emeritus of sexual harassment and unbecoming conduct towards two senior faculty members under his supervision. He was also found to have engaged in unbecoming conduct with a research assistant and a lab worker. The verdict was delivered in August and published yesterday. The professor received a reprimand, a two-year suspension from supervising doctoral students, a freeze on his university-assigned office, a ban from attending conferences, and was barred from research grants for one year.
The complainants requested the lecturer's name be published, but the tribunal refused, citing his clean criminal record and advanced age.
