ROCHESTER, N.Y. — U of R President Richard Feldman says the school is trying move forward following the investigation into sexual harassment allegations by professor Florian Jaeger.

On Monday, Feldman explained how the university is implementing recommendations made by former U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White in her investigation into the Jaeger allegations.

Most notably, Feldman says the school will soon prohibit any intimate relationships between faculty and students—even graduate students. White's investigation, paid for by the university, has been the target of harsh criticism by many of Jaeger's accusers. Some referred to the report as "inadequate" and "flawed." Many have since taken legal action.

The White report found the brain and cognitive sciences professor lacked ethical judgment when engaging in sexual relationships with students and staff, but found nothing illegal. Feldman says among the reforms made since the Jaeger investigation was the creation of a new "University Equity Counsel" with 30 people from across the campus community.

"We believe that we can go beyond the specific recommendations that were made, and do more to try to strengthen our community, build on what I regard as an already strong base and create and even better and more caring, inclusive environment,” said Feldman.

Feldman says since the White report was released back in January, undergrad applications have risen by 10 percent since last year, and that the college has seen an increase of financial contributions by 20 percent. They hope that their efforts have been noticed by students throughout the college.

"I'm eager to hear from people about their suggestions, their ideas,” added Feldman. “I want to continue to collaborate, I think success in this area that we arrive at conclusions collaboratively, that everyone has a chance to express their views, and feels part of the process and I'm eager for people to participate."

Jaeger, who has been on paid administrative leave since last year, will return to teaching in the fall semester. The university says the course is an upper level elective that students can opt out of.
