A University of Rochester student who went on a hunger strike for nearly six days in an attempt to force the firing of a professor accused of sexual harassment is eating again after officials put the teacher on administrative leave. A statement from the school -- that was hand-delivered to senior student Lindsay Wrobel before it went out to the campus community on Tuesday -- said professor Florian Jaeger has been placed on administrative leave as a newly-formed committee looks into claims of sexual harassment, the Rochester Campus Times reported. “This was the hardest week of my life,” an emotional Wrobel told the newspaper while washing down a cookie with Gatorade and Naked juice at a campus café. “White and her team have conducted numerous independent investigations involving sexual abuse and harassment at educational and other institutions,” the email read, according to the Campus Times. The university earlier told Fox News the “allegations have raised very real concerns and caused pain both on campus and in our wider community.”It added: “The university takes any allegations of such behavior very seriously, and is committed to ensuring that students, faculty and staff feel supported and safe."
