Five months after resigning as dean of the University of California, Berkeley School of Law amid a sexual harassment scandal, Sujit Choudhry is redoubling his efforts to retain his tenured position on the law faculty.
In an Aug. 1 letter to the chair of the university’s Privilege and Tenure Committee, which is investigating Choudhry’s conduct and could recommend his removal from the faculty, Choudhry argued that the inquiry is improper because he had already entered into a disciplinary agreement with the university after an internal investigation found he had sexually harassed his executive assistant. A second investigation “violates my rights to fair and equitable treatment,” Choudhry said in his letter.
