Boston University has fired a tenured geology professor accused of violating the school’s sexual harassment policies during research trips to Antarctica in 1997 and from 1999 to 2000.
BU President Robert A. Brown sent a letter to faculty Friday saying he reviewed the case and concluded Dr. David Marchant’s employment should be terminated.
A 13-month investigation conducted by the university’s Equal Opportunity Office concluded Marchant created a hostile working and living environment for a female graduate student at the Antarctica camp.
