BATON ROUGE, La. - Dr. Ghali E. Ghali, chancellor of the LSU medical school in Shreveport, was put on administrative leave Tuesday.
The suspension comes comes a day after four employees filed federal complaints alleging he suppressed sexual harassment allegations involving students and retaliated against the faculty members who brought attention to the matters.
The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Monday alleged that an LSU Health Sciences Center-Shreveport administrator spoke inappropriately to and touched 16 female medical students. The filings also alleged that the medical schoolâs head of admissions required female students to write book reports on pornographic stories, according to The (Baton Rouge) Advocate.
