Dear Ms. Im:

I am writing to inform you that the panel I appointed to investigate and adjudicate charges
against a faculty member (Respondent) under the Universitys policy on Sex Discrimination and
Sexual Misconduct has found that he is responsible for violating this policy. Specifically, he
was charged with Sexual Harassment and/or Inappropriate Conduct Related to Sex, Gender
Identity, or Gender Expression. As is detailed in the panels memorandum, the panel, based on
the information before it and using the preponderance of the evidence standard, found that the
Respondent engaged in unwelcome verbal or physical behavior which was directed at you based
on sex that was sufficiently severe to have the effect of unreasonably interfering with your
educational experience by creating a hostile or offensive environment. The panel therefore
found the Respondent responsible for Sexual Harassment, which is a violation of the
Universitys policy on Sex Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct.

In accordance with our policy, the Dean of the Faculty has reviewed the case file and the panels
summary regarding its findings of fact and findings of responsibility and has determined that
discipline is warranted. While the Respondent will continue in his current capacity, the
University is implementing appropriate measures to ensure that such conduct does not recur. 1

You, as well as the Respondent, have the right to appeal this decision to the Committee on
Conference and Faculty Appeal (CCFA) on the grounds that (1) there is substantial relevant
information that was not presented, and reasonably could not have been presented during the
investigation; or (2) there was procedural unfairness. You have until Monday, June 19 at 5 pm
to submit your formal letter of appeal, which should be directed to the chair of the CCFA,
Martha Himmelfarb, Professor of Religion, Department of Religion. If you are contemplating an
appeal, I recommend that you contact Professor Himmelfarb as soon as possible so that she can
explain the process to you. She can be reached at himmelfa@princeton.edu or (609)-258-4486.
For more information regarding the appeal process, please see Rights, Rules, Responsibilities
section 1.3.13(3).

In addition, the No Communication Order will remain in effect and may be extended beyond the current April 13,
2018 expiration if you wish to do so.
Ms. Im, I understand that this has been a very difficult process, and I appreciate your
cooperation. If I may be of assistance to you in any way, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Michele Minter
Title IX Coordinator
