Bottom line: He was cleared of the charges. Makding false accusations is a serious crime. Now the people who made those false charges should lose their jobs and go to jail. Kudos to this guy for not lying down, fighting back, proving his innocence, and restoring his name. He should get his old job back, or get financial restitution.

He was not cleared of these charges because the university botched the investigation and he agreed to resign as dean, come back as a full prof making a salary equivalent to the highest salary of a full professor before the case could actually play out as it should have.

And just because a judge reccommends that he be cleared doesn't mean he's actually been cleared. The statement he made is actually discriminatory and creates a hostile work environment. I blame the university for trying to run him out and using this harassment claim to do it when there were other reasons.

Wrong. No conviction = innocent until PROVEN guilty. And when a JUDGE recommends clearing someone (meaning retract the charges), believe me, not only does that mean there was no legal case against this man and that he is innocent, it means there was never any basis for the false allegations to begin with.

He needs to file suit, be compensated for the damage done, and the person who made the false charges either needs to prove the charges or be fired, and also go to jail.
