Responding to a Lawsuit, Dartmouth Denies Ignoring Complaints About Professors’ Abusive Behavior

Dartmouth College’s (NH) trustees said in a court filing on Tuesday that they did not knowingly allow three professors in the department of psychological and brain sciences to sexually harass and assault students. The trustees were responding to allegations in a lawsuit filed in November by seven current and former students. The students said that the college had not protected them from the professors’ abuse, and that college leaders had failed to act once the alleged misconduct was brought to their attention.
