Princeton University is moving to fire a tenured professor for allegedly failing to fully cooperate with a sexual misconduct investigation into a relationship he had with a student.

Katz's attorney, Samantha Harris, confirmed to NBC News on Friday that Princeton's president, dean and a faculty appellate committee had all recommended that her client be dismissed.

The May 10 letter from Princeton President Christopher Eisgruber is based on a 10-page report written last November and signed by faculty dean Gene Jarrett, the Wall Street Journal reported. The 2018 investigation found that Katz violated school policy by having a sexual relationship with a student and Princeton suspended him for a year without pay.
