Ex-Ohio University professor Yusuf Kalyango, who lost his tenure and was fired by the Board of Trustees in April in relation to investigations that found he sexually harassed students, filed a new lawsuit against the university weeks after dropping a separate suit.
The new suit, filed May 24 in the Ohio Court of Claims, contains many of the same arguments outlined in the since-dropped federal suit Kalyango filed against OU in 2020, which was dismissed in April through a deal brokered between his attorney, Gregory Beck, and the university, though the details surrounding the agreement arenât clear.
Kalyango was found by the OU Office for Equity and Civil Rights Compliance, or the Title IX office to have sexually harassed two female students, resulting in his eventual termination.
