CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Dartmouth College said it was unaware of sexual misconduct allegations against three professors until it was alerted by scores of female students.
The college's comment Tuesday is its first response to a federal lawsuit accusing it of ignoring the behavior. The college also said it has evidence of some inappropriate behavior, but not of the more serious allegations of assault.
A federal lawsuit filed in November by seven current and former students accused Dartmouth of failing to take action to address years of sexual harassment and other inappropriate behavior by professors in the Department of Psychological and Brain Science.
