Walcott Returning
Derek Walcott, a Boston University professor formally admonished by Harvard for sexual harassment, will return to B.U. in the fall without further investigation. Walcott, who has a three-year appointment at B.U. starting January, was reprimanded by Harvard's Dean of the Faculty Henry Rosovsky after a freshman accused him of making offensive verbal advances during his visiting professorship at Harvard last fall. Additionally, a B.U. graduate student accused Walcott of pressuring her for sex in exchange for poetry help, though she did not file a formal complaint with B.U. Patricia Craddock, chair of B.U.'s English Department, stated there is no direct evidence of wrongdoing and confirmed that Walcott is still being considered for tenure.| Publisher |
