More on the sexual harassment allegations against Fordham’s William Jaworski

This time in the NYT, though the NYT seems more interested in the fact that Fordham imposed minor discipline on students who took it upon themselves to announce to Jaworski's classes the allegations.  Even if what they announced was, in this case, entirely true, it's clear why a school would want to discourage such vigilante actions as a general matter.  (Recall this earlier post, which drew howls of protest from the various wacky corners of philosophy cyberspace at the time, but still seems to me wholly correct; indeed, it turned out the allegations that sparked that vigilante action at that time could not be sustained in court.)
