The court didn't condone his behavior, but ruled that he didn't violate any university policies.
A Pennsylvania court ruled Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania Professor John Barrett must be reinstated after he was fired for having sexual relationships with two students.
“Thus, Grievant’s conduct, as characterized by the arbitrator, does not implicate the public policy against sexual harassment … Although we reach this conclusion today, we are in no way ignoring Grievant’s appalling lack of judgment, especially as one who once held a position of trust for Complainant,” the ruling said.
The student, who was not named, was in one of Barrett’s classes in spring 2015 and the two began a romantic relationship the subsequent fall semester. Their relationship continued until June 2016. According to the ruling, the student claimed to have woken up to Barrett touching her while sleeping in his home on multiple occasions.
In his termination letter, Bloomsburg University President David Soltz cited Barrett’s “lack of professional judgment” in having a sexual relationship with the two students, which the school found to be in violation of the university’s sexual harassment and discrimination policies.
