The U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) last week brought some closure to a long-running saga by rescinding the membership of astronomer Geoffrey Marcy because of sexual harassment. It is the first time the 158-year-old body has expelled a member for any reason.
NAS set the stage for the expulsion in 2019, when it revised its bylaws to allow the removal of members who have been found guilty of misconduct, including sexual harassment, by their employers, journals or funding agencies. No one formally sought such action for sexual harassment transgressions until September 2020, when François-Xavier Coudert, a computational chemist with CNRS, France s national science agency, filed complaints with NAS against Marcy and three other academy members. After a vote that an NAS spokesperson said met the required two-thirds majority, the academy s 17-member council revoked Marcy s membership on 24 May for violating its harassment policy.

Apr. 13, 2021 , 3:25 PM The U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is moving for the first time to expel sexual harassers from its membership. Science has learned that the institution is adjudicating complaints that could lead to the ejection of astronomer Geoffrey Marcy and evolutionary biologist Francisco Ayala. The process is unfolding 2 years after the prestigious, 158-year-old academy changed its bylaws to allow expulsion of members. Until then, membership had been for life. Rescinding membership is the most drastic penalty under the new rules, which also allow for lesser sanctions. With the potential moves against Marcy and Ayala, “We are watching social change happening in front of our eyes,” says Nancy Hopkins, an NAS member and emeritus biologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “It has been a long time coming.” ....
