Well, this is not how a university should handle sexual harassment

Balayla Ahmad was a Muslim student at the University of Bridgeport (a school that since went bankrupt and is now run by the bat-shit crazy Church of Unification—progress!). In 2009, she complained that she was being sexually harassed by a male student. Here’s how you, as a university, completely mangle this:

When she complained to a teacher, she was told that the university generally doesn’t get rid of students right away over such incidents, the lawsuit said. Another teacher asked her if she were married and asked her not to report it to the dean because he would speak with the harasser, the suit said.

Ahmad then reported the harassment and fears for her safety to the university’s president and dean, who promised to meet with her. But she said when she met with the dean, he said, “My hands are tied. What do you suggest I do?”

Well, you could, you know, treat is seriously. Anyways, what happens next is fucked up:

After reporting the sexual harassment in April 2009, Ahmad said she was approached by two university security directors who told her someone had made allegations against her and they threatened to call the FBI and have her arrested.

Later, two FBI agents knocked on Ahmad’s apartment door, questioned her and left a business card, according to the lawsuit. She said she learned that her harasser or his associates had fabricated a story falsely accusing her of being a terrorist in apparent retaliation for having made a sexual harassment complaint against him.
