An appeals committee slams the University of Wisconsin-Madison for its handling of sexual harassment and sick leave abuse allegations against a former top administrator.
The Academic Staff Appeals Committee today (Monday) released its report on the discipline late last year of Paul Barrows, the former vice chancellor for student affairs. The committee wrote that Peter Spear, who was provost at the time, should not have disciplined Barrows for allegedly sexually harassing two women, nor should he have been disciplined and for taking five months’ sick leave.
