Case Description: Brad Eckert, a professor at a midwestern university, wondered whether to fight the charges. Clearly, he had never harassed Vicki Collins, although her accusations were being taken quite seriously by the administration. He had advised her to come back for the MBA program. He was delighted when Vicki was assigned as a graduate assistant to himself and his wife. Maybe it had been a mistake to suggest she drop her new boyfriend. Now Vicki had left school and was demanding her tuition back and full payment of her graduate stipend.
