A Berkeley graduate alerted me to this statement from the Department Chair: "I am writing to let you know that, as of June 19th 2019, John Searle is no longer affiliated with UC Berkeley. Following a determination that he violated university policies against sexual harassment, President Napolitano has ended his emeritus status. This means, among other things, that he is no longer eligible to teach or advise students, nor will he have access to the campus beyond what is afforded to any member of the general public."
(Earlier related coverage. Note that it is unclear whether the finding against Searle was related to this case, or some other complaint(s) [e.g.].)
