ATLANTA — The University of Georgia has barred a longtime math professor from campus as investigators review several sexual misconduct complaints against him. At least seven women — students and faculty — have come forward recently with complaints of unwanted touching, groping and sex acts by Kazez, said Decatur attorney Lisa Anderson, who represents two of the women who filed the complaints. The university statement says Kazez has been banned from campus and isn’t teaching while the investigation is underway. He also said Kazez had not had any prior Equal Opportunity Office complaints against him in his UGA career. The University of Georgia has a process to investigate allegations such as these which is designed to protect the rights of the accusers and the accused.
