the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Lehmann, and the woman who accused him of sexually harassing her. Sabatini claims he was in a consensual relationship with the accuser.
Sabatini claimed the woman and her attorney pressed Lehmann and Whitehead to conclude that Sabatini engaged in misconduct and terminate him on that basis., the woman accusing Sabatini of harassment said he"coerced" her into having sex with him while she was a graduate student and “committed assault and battery on [her] when he coerced her into having sex with him despite her protests.”
She said she suffered financial losses, reputational harm, pain and suffering and emotional distress due to Sabatini's retaliatory behavior against her claims. Whitehead in the filing, said the investigation, conducted by the law firm Hinckley, Allen, was initiated after it received"concerning information" in an anonymous survey. Whitehead also noted that there were claims by other men and women who raised concerns about his conduct and the environment of his laboratory to independent investigators.
"I have mentored dozens of women who succeeded professionally and personally. I understand how upset many in the NYU community who have not heard all of the facts are about the possibility that I might join the faculty there," Sabatini said.that it has not yet come to a decision on whether it will offer Sabatini a position.
"A main reason for that examination is that, by all accounts, there were many pertinent aspects of the matter that were never publicly disclosed. For example, we have heard directly from dozens of Dr. Sabatini's peers and colleagues describing a first-hand view that is starkly at odds with the investigation and its outcome," NYU Langone said.
