Francisco Ayala resigned from the University of California-Irvine effective 1 July, in the wake of a sexual harassment report.
The investigative report that triggered the ouster of prominent evolutionary geneticist Francisco Ayala by the University of California, Irvine (UCI), found that his behavior included telling a pregnant colleague “you’re so huge” and regularly putting his hands under a female administrator’s jacket and rubbing them up and down her sides. According to the report, he told a female professor that she had been so animated while giving a talk that he thought she would “have an orgasm.” In another instance, he invited a junior professor in a crowded meeting to sit on his lap, saying he would enjoy the presentation more that way.
