Handling of Sexual Harassment Case Poses Larger Questions at Yale
What is this about?
In 2014 a sexual harassment case at Yale University came to light. The case describes how a senior cardiologist made advances to a junior cardiologist. At the time, the boyfriend of the junior cardiologist worked at the same hospital, and asserts "his career stalled after [the senior cardiologist] disparaged him and froze him out professionally". [1] The case enlarged the universities' lack of response and action taken to handle harassment against women.
Why is this important?
Appropriately handling sexual harassment cases is extremely important. In addition, repercussions need to be taken when the accused is found guilty, and the victim(s) need to be protected, both personally and professionally.
