Well, Ain't That Convenient
Apparently the chancellor was about to reinstate John Simon, when the professor threw a spanner into the works by dying. Of course, this announcement does come out over a month after Dr. Simon's death. I found this quote about the allegations interesting:
"Some people went public when they shouldn't have. It's kind of holier-than-thou - 'the world has a right to know.' No they don't. Not on situations like that," Goldman said.
One of the best known men at SIUC, a nationally known scholar, is accused of sexual harassment after a 40 year tenure at SIUC and ordered to stay off campus and Chancellor Goldman expected it to stay quiet?
Here's a nice tribute to Prof. Simon by a former student. Too bad no one every writes these things until after you pass away.

Your point about Goldman is excellent. The administrators at SIU in recent years have tended to be quite incompetent -- and that includes Poshard. I was a supporter of Poshard when he was a congressman, and I voted for him for governor. However, he has been generally incompetent as SIU president. I might add that his plagiarism has to be considered a mjor issue since he is a university president. If he were still a congressman and those plagiarism charges had been rev vealed I would say "Who really cares all that much?" However, plagiarism is a very important (and relevant) allegation when it involves the president of a major university.
