Last year, Gary Urton retired from Harvard University with emeritus status, which has now been revoked.

As a result of findings of sexual harassment, Harvard University today stripped prominent anthropological archaeologist Gary Urton of his emeritus status and banned him from all events on campus. A yearlong investigation found that Urton, who specializes in Andean culture, engaged in “persistent” sexual harassment and unwelcome sexual conduct, and abused his power with students and employees he supervised in the past 2 decades, according to a searing university statement released today.
