UCSF settles sexual harassment lawsuit involving prominent tobacco researcher

The University of California, San Francisco, has agreed to pay a former postdoc $150,000 to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit against a prominent tobacco researcher on its faculty. She alleged that Stanton Glantz — her supervisor and the director of the UCSF Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education — sexually harassed her and refused to include her name on a research paper. Glantz and UCSF "deny and dispute" the allegations in the settlement, but the university agreed to hold harassment training for tobacco research center employees. And a letter obtained by STAT and Retraction Watch also shows that within days of that settlement, the school notified the plaintiff it was considering other actions, including putting a letter of censure of Glantz's personnel file.
