says a sexual harasseshwar professoran at a libby college:

According to Bennett’s complaint, Wentworth encouraged the first-year graduate student to take a one-on-one independent study course during her first semester in fall 2014. Wentworth specializes in the Tamil language, which is Bennett’s area of interest.
Immediately, the complaint says, Wentworth began talking about his personal life and making inappropriate comments, at one point saying that learning Tamil was “better than sex”. On different occasions, he also allegedly touched her hand, placed his hands on her shoulders and got physically very close to her.

Bennett alleges in the complaint that the professor also often talked about his marriage, at one point “alluded to things he would do if Ms Bennett were his wife” and once calling her his “poor little lamb”.
“I became increasingly uncomfortable with his behavior,” Bennett said in an interview. “The power dynamic was very strong and palpable.”
Even though Wentworth is the only expert in Tamil literature at the university, Bennett said she dropped the class and tried to put the experience behind her.

Sounds like a nice slogan for TNers to popularize Tamil in North.
