Man, the article really buries the meat of the issue to try to sell a narrative.
> But when the liaison became public through the Daily Princetonian’s report, Princeton launched a second investigation, telling Katz that certain details in the article "remain uninvestigated and unaddressed." Under pressure from students, the school tasked two separate bureaucracies—the Office of the Dean of Faculty and the Office of Gender Equity and Title IX Administration—with investigating the tryst. Though the former undergraduate declined to participate in the 2018 investigation, she did participate in the 2021 inquiry, alleging not just impropriety but sexual harassment.
The story seems much more about this relationship, the university trying to settle it quietly to avoid bad publicity, then having to readdress the case when it became public and the key witness bece willing to talk about it.
It is possible/probable that the story about the relation was leaked by someone at the university. I am little skeptical they were high up since the leal also hurts the university.
While I don't think the professor should be fired for it, I agree with the university president that calling a group of student protestors "terrorists" is not responsible free speech. That isn't effective discourse and his criticism would have been more effective if he avoided using such a loaded term figuratively.
