The Athens Banner-Herald published an article on Sunday that gives details of sexual-harassment complaints lodged over a period of 13 years against a prominent former professor of anthropology at the University of Georgia.

(The Chronicle cited the university’s student newspaper, The Red and the Black, as having broken the story about the allegations on Monday in the original version of this blog post. The student paper’s article followed the Banner-Herald’s report.)

According to documents obtained by the paper, the professor, Benjamin G. Blount, left the University in Georgia in May 2004, after the second such complaint filed against him in the space of one year. A complaint filed by an undergraduate in 2003 led to Mr. Blount’s being found in violation of the university’s policy on sexual harassment, the documents show. A second complaint, filed by a colleague in his department in 2004, was still under investigation by the university’s Office of Legal Affairs when Mr. Blount resigned.

The Banner-Herald also reported that two earlier complaints, lodged by students at the university in 1991 and in 1996, had been dropped. Mr. Blount declined to comment to the Banner-Herald.

The Red and the Black reported on Monday that after his resignation at Georgia, he was hired as a professor of anthropology at the University of Texas at San Antonio. An assistant provost at that university confirmed to the Georgia student paper that Mr. Blount still teaches there, but on Monday night, his name did not appear on the Web page listing faculty members in the Texas-San Antonio anthropology department.

After his resignation at Georgia, Mr. Blount was appointed as editor of the American Anthropologist, a publication of the American Anthropological Association, in March 2005. He resigned as editor in May 2007. —Richard Byrne
