George Mason University professor Todd Kashdan argued in a lawsuit that it was “anti-male bias” for the school to discipline him after students complained about sexual harassment. An appeals court disagreed.
Kashdan said he was also denied his rights to free speech and due process under the First and 14th amendments.In 2018, the four current and former female graduate students reported to the GMU administration that Kashdan engaged in repeated inappropriate comments and behavior during class-related activities, according to documents made public in the lawsuit. Kashdan asserted in that suit that those interactions, some dating back several years, were either taken out of context or fabricated.
, said they and other students felt compelled to go along with Kashdan’s sexual boundary-crossing to succeed in the clinical psychology program. Kashdan denied some allegations of sexual comments made in private conversations; those made in group settings, he argued, were pedagogical in nature. He said he deployed the oral sex anecdote as an example of exhibitionism and the description of the German brothel as part of a broader conversation about human sexuality. Asking a student what pornography she liked was part of a group discussion about using data from the website Pornhub.com in research, he said.
