Several readers sent along a link to this German article in which Ronell–not someone "on behalf of Ronell" as before–continues to attack the plaintiff as a "needy" person who is seeking revenge against her after she refused to help him with his publication plans.  Putting Title IX "retaliation" issues to one side (I think Prof. Ronell has buried herself already on that front) this is only a sensible strategy if, in fact, she can provide decisive evidence in support of this attack on the complainant.   I get the distinct impression that she and her supporters are not getting legal advice in this matter, and I suspect this strategy will not work out well for her, but since a lawsuit has been filed, we may well find out what the underlying facts really are.

UPDATE:   Prof. Ronell has now given a similar interview to CHE, making many of the same points she made in talking to Welt.
