Heading: The University Responds

Text: Armed with López's findings, the University, via a resolution dated November 8, 2007 and issued by Chancellor Carlo, dismissed Gerald's sexual harassment complaint. The resolution further indicated that administrative proceedings would be instigated against Gerald to determine whether she had violated University regulations by breaching her job duties or filing a false grievance. Also, in accordance with López's recommendation, the resolution decreed that Gerald be transferred to another CPRC facility, the Laboratory of Primate Morphology and Genetics (the Laboratory). Gerald's transfer to the Laboratory was memorialized in a December 4, 2007 letter from Kraiselburd. In that same letter, Gerald's title Resident Scientist was changed to Staff Scientist. 2 The report referred not only to the animosity between Kraiselburd and Gerald but between Gerald and Ayala. It seems Ayala and Gerald had got into an argument after he caught her reading his sworn statement to López when it was left open on his computer screen. Ayala claimed that Gerald, who countered with her own charge of computer snooping against him, was openly hostile after this. -11-
