Pennsylvania’s Lehigh University suspended the interim director of the student health centre Friday in response to a lawsuit that says he sexually harassed co-workers and performed inappropriate breast exams on students. Lehigh did nothing to address Novak’s behaviour and instead fired Feit, the suit said. But he wasn’t disciplined, and Novak continued to sexually harass his colleagues and mistreat students, the suit said. The suit denied wrongdoing by Feit, calling her termination “pretextual and done in response to Feit’s complaint of sexual harassment and sexual misconduct against Novak.”The suit seeks unspecified monetary damages. Lehigh, a highly selective university about 60 miles (100 kilometres) north of Philadelphia, has an undergraduate enrolment of about 5,000.
