Details Describe Alleged Sexual Assaults, Harassment by UWM Staff

New details obtained by Media Milwaukee show that UW-Milwaukee employees have been accused in complaints of allegations such as engaging in non-consensual sexual intercourse with a student, taking pictures of students’ “backsides,” making inappropriate sexual comments, and having a sexual relationship with a student and then giving the student a higher grade as a result.

Two employees had multiple complaints filed against them from 2014 to 2017, the new document obtained by Media Milwaukee also showed. In 2016, a university staff member was accused of having “non-consensual intercourse with a UWM student.” However, the University’s provost, Johannes Britz, found no Title IX violation in the case of the sexual assault allegation. The same staff member was later terminated in 2017 when the staffer “allegedly subjected a UWM student to nonconsensual sexual contact.”
