George Ranalli, 68, who has helmed the Spitzer School of Architecture since 1999, offered Ariella Campisi a ride home after the faculty holiday party at the Smoke Jazz & Supper Club in December 2013, Campisi claims in a Manhattan federal-court lawsuit. Campisi, now 23, was there because she worked part-time as an office assistant for the architecture school. — New York Post
Sad day for CUNY Architecture.

oi, who wants to touch the lightning rod, eh?
gross....
A serious accusation, he can never recover professionally. Ranalli's career is utterly ruined. I can't imagine his excuse is; "under the influence" of alcohol. This occurred while driving late at night with his young female assistant after a holiday party. Sexual harassment is a predatory character trait in the worst kind of individual, especially in academia! I feel sorry for his wife.
According to the Post..."She reported the incident to her bosses the next day, and they promised an investigation. It was 18 months later when Campisi asked for an update, and learned there was no probe. Her bosses had incorrectly reported the incident to the school’s Human Resources office, instead of the Office of Diversity and Compliance..." WTF?
That dude looks like a creep for sure..but he touched her knee and she didn't say stop then he tried to kiss her and she ran out, maybe the dude thought she was accepting his advances. no excuse for the lack of response into an investigation tho.
Our society has nearly completed it total devolution into ClownWorld.
