Another Title IX controversy, this time at Harvard

MOVING TO FRONT, ORIGINALLY POSTED FEBRUARY 7--MULTIPLE UPDATES

It involves the anthropologist John Comaroff (who used to be here, but I do not know him at all), and has now led to an open letter in his defense from several dozen Harvard colleagues.

UPDATE:  The female complainants about Professor Comaroff have now sued Harvard University.

STILL MORE:   Now some six dozen Harvard faculty have signed an open letter protesting the prior open letter from their Harvard colleagues.  Unless I missed it, it looks like the Harvard philosophers are sitting this controversy out!

ANOTHER (2/10/22):   Most of the signatories of the original open letter in support of Comaroff have now retracted their signatures!   One law professor--Duncan Kennedy, a founder of critical legal studies--is among those who did not.
