Comment on Harvard Places Math Professor Martin Nowak on Paid Administrative Leave Over Epstein Ties
HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 1 week agoAdministrative Leave starts when a formal investigation begins. You’re basically calling for Chapter 10 of a book to be over when Chapter 1 barely started.

Now, as Devil’s Advocate arguing against you and me, Harvard could choose to drop him at the mere hint of an accusation. You don’t have a right to a job and not getting fired without proven cause in any state but I want to say Montana? The rest are “Right to Work.”
Back on Team “Give them a second for crying out loud,” we’re talking about Harvard, allegedly one of the best colleges in the world. We can expect them to do right by probably investigating this properly, and we’d hope any employer we’d ever work for would bother to take more than a femtosecond to figure out if there’s evidence supporting an accusation against us.
Obviously a lot of countries do have Big R “Rights” as far as labor goes, but the US is not one of them.

If he’s a tenured professor he has contractual work protections, he cannot be legally fired without cause.

True, forgot all about the tenure system, which I barely understand beyond the memes as it is.
Still, earlier discussion holds; outrage that they didn’t fire him yet makes zero sense.
