Professor accused of sexual misconduct sues Yale for gender discrimination, federal court grants trial

In 2013, the University found Professor Michael Simons guilty of sexual harassment and disciplined him accordingly. Simons claimed that five years later, Yale punished him again for the same conduct in a gender-discriminatory effort to appease campus supporters of the #MeToo movement; a federal court last week allowed the case to move to trial.
