In 2015, the university was sued by sexual harassment attorney Dr. Ann Olivarius on behalf of former graduate student Monica Morrison for allegedly violating her Title IX rights when handling sexual harassment allegations she brought against philosophy professor Colin McGinn. The complaint alleged civil assault, breach of fiduciary duty, retaliation, and sexual harassment. Olivarius claimed the university "completely mishandled her sexual harassment complaint contrary to law and its own policies, with results that have derailed her career and hurt her personally." McGinn resigned his tenured position in 2013.
