Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Claudine Gay placed Anthropology and African and African-American Studies professor John L. Comaroff on paid administrative leave Monday afternoon following allegations that he sexually harassed students and retaliated against those who spoke out against him.
The Crimson reported in May that at least three current female students were in contact with Harvard’s Title IX office regarding allegations against Comaroff and that the Anthropology department had asked him not to use his department office and teach a course in the spring.
