Fire Barrett professors for sexual misconduct

The Issue

For decades, Arizona State University's Barrett Honors College has protected professors who groom and sexually abuse students. ASU silences victims and protects accused professors. 

The grooming process at Barrett begins in mandatory freshman Human Event seminars, and progresses to Study Abroad trips, teaching assistantships, and thesis direction. ASU Policy acknowledges the power a professor holds over a student makes sexual and romantic relationships inherently exploitative -- but ASU does not train students nor faculty on this policy.

Professors should not receive "slaps on the wrist" for sexual misconduct, as they have in the past. Predatory professors must be terminated so they can't abuse their power and harm more students.
