David Sabatini, the prominent cancer biologist who was forced out of MIT and two related institutions after he was accused of sexual misconduct, announced today that he’s withdrawn his name from consideration for a position at NYU. 

Sabatini’s potential hiring at NYU’s Grossman School of Medicine had drawn intense protests from the student body and some faculty. At a private meeting with some research faculty and trainees last week, NYU medical school administrators defended the hiring process they were using to recruit Sabatini and strongly implied the allegations against him were not true.
