An Indiana University of Pennsylvania doctoral student who said his professor had tried to sabotage his doctoral thesis when he rejected her sexual advances has “amicably” settled a lawsuit against her and the university, the Associated Press reported.
The AP said terms of the settlement were not described in documents filed in the U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh, but apparently the student, Shane Sandridge, can remain in the university’s doctoral program.
The suit, filed in June, drew attention because the professor, Jennifer Gossett, had published several articles about faculty-student romances. —Jennifer Ruark
