KU clears sexuality professor after inquiry
The University of Kansas found no merit in a state senator’s complaint about Professor Dennis Dailey and his undergraduate human sexuality course. Sen. Susan Wagle alleged harassment, obscene videos, and street language, but provost David Shulenburger said the claims lacked evidence and were largely perceptions. The report noted much of the senator’s information came from her intern, Jessica Zahn, a senior in the class.
