Of the committee. Maybe they just want to ruin his life. Credible? If it's credible, why hasn't he been convicted.

  Of the committee. He's not and never has been on the committee. His wife is. And no one has been kicked off the committee. If it's credible, why hasn't he been convicted. Because building a case strong enough to stand up in court in situations like these is really hard and the police/prosecutors have decided not to priorities it. But the core of the matter isn't really the sexual harassment, it's the fact that the Academy apparently knew about several cases of both sexual harassment and, more importantly, possible financial fraud/corruption involving this individual and instead of dealing with it, decided to protect him. The sexual harassment charges are just the events that brought these more serious charges to light.

    I was under the impression that he was in the committee. Why should his wife leave? I don't understand.

      Why should his wife leave? Primarily because he is accused of improperly getting funding from the Academy and she was accused of enabling and profiting from this as well as blocking any further investigation into the matter. There are also accusations that she prevented the Academy from looking into earlier accusation of sexual harassment against her husband, but that is secondary.

    >Because building a case strong enough to stand up in court in situations like these is really hard and the police/prosecutors have decided not to priorities it. So it's the ideal ground for character assassinations? Especially since society doesn't blame/shame the victims anymore (which is good) -- so someone wrongfully accusing has all the upside and no downsides (which is bad).
