In response to SomeGuy
Maybe I'm looking at this from a legal point of view, but how can he have violated any harassment policy when she was not associated with the University. Sexual harassment, by definition, requires some form of power or control. If they had a right to fire him, it is based on a general conduct clause (and his conduct was reprehensible). I can't see how this violated the University's sexual harassment policy, however, and I think he was likely to prevail on his administrative appeal. Indeed, it wouldn't totally surprise me if Cal was hopeful he would get another job, so it wouldn't have to defend the policy decision.
