I'm hoping there is more to the story , on it's face it seems crazy. The only two websites that I found writing on it were Breitbart and the Daily Caller so I know some of you don't like them so I didn't post. Instead I posted the professor's Op-Ed.

Wow.

I'd sue the nuts off everyone with a title there. If they don't have nuts, I'd sue them til they had some.

UK's response in Courier Journal, completely different story. Now I need a journalist to investigate.

 

Buck Ryan - His Beach Boys story is off-key

Based on just what is in that story, the ruling is crazy.

UK response in LHL:

 

Professor’s story about sexual misconduct complaint off-key | Lexington Herald-Leader

 

Ryan traveled in 2015 to China with other faculty. These faculty members complained — and had deep concerns — about his conduct. Two universities that partner with UK — Shanghai and Jilin — also have complained about Ryan. Our Title IX office investigated the complaints at length and interviewed Ryan as part of the investigation, as well as the faculty who accompanied him.

So it really has nothing at all to do with singing a song.

Hard to follow since the investigation has not - and apparrently will not be released - unless Ryan waives rights.

 

Another LHL article on this:

This is interesting:

 

UK spokesman Jay Blanton said UK had offered to release the full investigative file if Ryan waived confidentiality and any claims against UK, but that Ryan declined.

Also apparently the girls who he supposedly inappropriately touched were willing to testify in his defense and the University would not hold a hearing.

Agreed. I expected an egregious act when I read the title and laughed when I saw the Beach Boys.

Well if they turn into a movie Buck Ryan is a great name for the lead male.
