In response to Jay O
You add an editorial which is nothing close to what I said. I never said they shouldn't "care." But in order to fire him FOR CAUSE for a violation of the sexual harassment policy of the University, you have to follow that policy, which states that it covers only those affiliated with the University. They have the right to fire him and probably pay his remaining term for other reasons (unless this falls within the general conduct clause, which I doubt), but I am just looking at the legality of what they did. And as to that, I think he had a pretty good defense because she was not affiliated with the University.
Yes, they should care. But if you want to fire someone for violation of a policy, the terms of that policy are controlling.
