Second LSU AgCenter researcher shown leniency amid sexual misconduct findings
Monday, May 3, 2021
Daily Report has uncovered a case involving a professor in the LSU AgCenter who engaged in sexual misconduct under Title IX for sexually harassing and allegedly threatening a female AgCenter employee but was allowed to voluntarily retire rather than face disciplinary action.
The new information emerges as LSU has yet to answer questions about the unusual Title IX case of a longtime AgCenter researcher whose academic tenure was temporarily removed and later reinstated. The researcher, Niranjan Baisakh, was found in a university investigation to have sexually harassed and assaulted a female graduate student.
