Of judgement that is. Today University of California, Berkeley board asked for one of their senior astronomers (astronomy professor) to resign due to allegations of sexual misconduct. Apparently he groped for objects just outside his reach and tried his luck at peering where he should not have.
Perhaps it was a case of being smitten by his star power. We will never learn the truth but suffice to say that 'the hand in the cookie jar' has yet again surfaced in a campus of higher learning.
Perhaps some people in spite of literally achieving success in higher learning do not seem to grasp more earthly ideas like - thou shalt not rape.
Several other scandals like this came to the media's attention and it shone a light on hormones getting in the way of good business sense. Stanford too had some turmoil amidst its business school leadership getting cozy betwixt faculty - a violation of code of ethics or some mumbo.
I think if its guns, football or sex and drugs it also makes for good media ratings as the public gravitates to this reality show bored with life in general.

It's funny..a tenured prof can be only fired for such things (not for not working), and they go and do just those things..
