BuzzFeed : The University of Kentucky’s student newspaper, the Kentucky Kernel, is facing a legal wrangle with the university over the newspaper’s demands for the release of documents concerning a sexual harassment case involving a university professor. In December James Harwood, an associate professor of entomology, was charged with sexual assault and harassment against two students in his department. Two months later he was allowed to resign his position and avoid a disciplinary hearing. Because of the university’s refusal to provide the Kernel with information about the case, the paper appealed to the state’s attorney general, who ruled in the paper’s favor. Now university president Eli Capilouto says he plans to sue the paper to block the documents’ release.
