After suspension – law professor back after sex allegations in the lecture hall

A professor at the University of Salzburg’s law school is said to have sexually harassed a student. That’s why he was suspended last June. But now he is back in the lecture hall.

There was a big outcry in July last year when a law student accused her professor of sexual harassment. Specifically, it was about inappropriate text messages that the professor concerned is said to have sent her. At the time, the student presented call and chat logs to the Vice Rector, and she did not want to accept an apology from the law teacher. The university then announced “immediate and clear measures”. Those responsible at the University of Salzburg reacted with a temporary suspension and made it clear that “sexual assault, discrimination and harassment of any kind” had no place at the university (the “Krone” reported). these measures apparently out of the question. Because: As of the coming summer semester, the said professor will be giving lectures again and taking diploma exams again. However, the university and the department apparently did not communicate this externally or internally. Instead, the professor’s name simply appeared again in the list of courses. The law faculty and the affected department could not be reached for a statement for the “Krone” on Friday.
