Women Sue Dartmouth, Accuse 3 Male Professors of Sexual Misconduct
------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, seven women are suing Dartmouth College over
rape, sexual assault, harassment and discrimination. Three male
professors-Todd Heatherton, William Kelley and Paul Whalen-are accused
of creating a "21st Century Animal House." The three men allegedly
coerced women into drinking, and groped, leered at and in some cases
raped the women. The lawsuit alleges that a "predatory boy's club"
culture made female students feel trapped and forced into unwanted acts
for fear of risking their careers. Dartmouth reportedly ignored reports
of the professors' conduct for 16 years, and the university allowed the
men to either retire or voluntarily resign rather than face legal or
disciplinary action.
