Ag Center has been a mess for a long time. Hate to say I'm not surprised.

The victim told police he then pushed her down, causing her to fall. She grabbed a knife from her desk and told him if he didn’t leave, she would hurt herself, the report says.
That's not how a knife is supposed to work.

Why do you not post any cliffs when you start a thread?

While the scandal around LSU’s mishandling of sexual misconduct allegations in the athletics department continues to grow, Daily Report has uncovered details of a Title IX case involving a researcher at the LSU AgCenter, who was disciplined in early 2017 for allegedly stalking, harassing and sexually assaulting a female graduate student.
quote:
The researcher in what an LSU official describes as a “highly unusual” case is Niranjan Baisakh, an associate professor, who joined the LSU AgCenter in 2004 as a postdoctoral researcher. Over the years, he was promoted to assistant professor and then to associate professor, gaining tenure along the way, according to campus sources familiar with the situation. He was also a prolific researcher and inventor, with several patent filings to his name, online records show.
quote:
In the report, provided to Daily Report in response to a public records request, the victim describes how Baisakh would come into her office, lock the door and tell her about how “everyone in the department was having immoral relationships.”
He allegedly took unwanted pictures of her, hugged her and begged her, the report states, to “please love me, please be mine.”

The terms of his sanction were highly unconventional, however: Baisakh’s academic tenure was “removed” for a period of at least three years, and he was effectively demoted, though he was allowed to continue at the AgCenter as a researcher. He was also barred from having any graduate students work for him.
Sources say both Baisakh and the victim agreed to the terms of the sanctions in March 2017. The victim has since moved out of state. She could not be reached for comment.

While the sex scandals are bad, I find the bigger injustice to be the fact that state workers still aren’t back to work full time and we’ve been paying for them For a year.

Who amongst us hasn't wanted to kiss a vagana or a vegana for a few hours or so?

Well that shite needs to change now.
F King Alexander did a number on this place. Oregon is lucky they were able to get rid of him.

I get it but in this case it was investigated & he faced disciplinary action which the victim agreed to
Why even bring this up other than his tenure was reinstated recently after the 3 year period & he has grad students working under him again?

He allegedly took unwanted pictures of her, hugged her and begged her, the report states, to “please love me, please be mine.”
The police report also details how his actions allegedly escalated over time. In late 2014, he allegedly touched her breast and kissed her, while they were in a greenhouse. When she pushed him away, he allegedly threatened to kill himself, telling her she would be responsible.
In 2015, the victim claims that he began showing up uninvited at her apartment as well as following her around campus, including to the store and to the gym. He also, according to the report, began coercing her to join him for drinks at The Chimes on Friday afternoons, telling her if she refused he would tell colleagues that her research was deficient.
The report goes on to describe how Baisakh allegedly became enraged in April 2016, when she refused to accompany him to The Chimes, a restaurant and bar located just outside the North Gates of LSU’s campus. He allegedly locked her office door before asking her to have sex with him, according to the report, allegedly removing his penis from his pants and restraining her when she tried to leave. The victim told police he then pushed her down, causing her to fall. She grabbed a knife from her desk and told him if he didn’t leave, she would hurt herself, the report says.
1. WTF was this guy thinking? When has the "please love me" approach ever worked?
2. If she had a knife and his penis was out, why would she threaten to hurt herself? Cutting his penis or balls off or threatening to cut his penis or balls off seems like a more appropriate response to me in that situation.
Not victim shaming or trying to discredit the victim/accuser at all with this post. Just posting a couple of things that caught my attention.

Good point. Seems like this was addressed and resolved. There’s nothing to see here.
If there was a cover up then I’d understand discussing it. But this seems like it was handled.

Which ones, exactly?
Most I know have been back in the office full time since mid May of last year.
