Yale Law Professor Jed Rubenfeld was suspended after the university found a pattern of sexual harassment of several students. Rubenfeld says that 'I became a target of people making false allegations against me.' irin reports

Jed Rubenfeld Photo: Rob Latour/Shutterstock On Monday morning, members of the Yale Law School faculty received a terse message from their provost informing them that Professor Jed Rubenfeld “will leave his position as a member of the YLS faculty for a two-year period, effective immediately,” and that upon his return, Rubenfeld would be barred from teaching “small group or required courses. He will be restricted in social gatherings with students.

He added, “Ironically, I have written about the unreliability of the campus Title IX procedures. I never expected to go through one of them myself.” That’s not true, according to Yale’s stated policies — and one of the complainants. “License to write about sexual harassment is not license to sexually harass,” she told me. “I reported because I was sexually harassed. Now he’s being dishonest about even this aspect of the Title IX process. For example, as Yale’s policy requires, I identified myself to him. I had to, and I did so at considerable risk given his influence in the legal community.
