   Aug. 14 (UPI) -- New York University said it's suspended a   
   literature professor -- who's also a noted feminist -- for   
   "inappropriate physical contact" and sending harassing text   
   messages to former graduate student.   
      
   A Title IX investigation by the university found professor   
   Avital Ronell harassed male student Nimrod Reitman for three   
   years.   
      
   Ronell, 66, a leading feminist scholar, was Reitman's doctoral   
   adviser.   
      
   Reitman, 34, now a visiting fellow at Harvard University, said   
   Ronell repeatedly called him and sent inappropriate text   
   messages for three years. He also said she refused to work with   
   him if he did not comply.

   He also said Ronell kissed and touched him without consent, and   
   once pulled him into her bed during a trip to Paris.   
      
   The investigation led the school to suspend Ronell for the   
   coming academic year, Washington Square News, the school's   
   newspaper, reported.   
      
   Reitman also accused Ronell of stalking, sexual assault and   
   retaliation by negatively impacting his professional career. The   
   university, which examined the case for nearly a year, said it   
   could not corroborate those claims.

   Ronell said she uses flamboyant language, but denied any   
   inappropriate physical or verbal conduct with Reitman.   
      
   "Our communications -- which Reitman now claims constituted   
   sexual harassment -- were between two adults, a gay man and a   
   queer woman, who share an Israeli heritage, as well as a   
   penchant for florid and campy communications arising from our   
   common academic backgrounds and sensibilities," Ronell wrote in   
   a statement to The New York Times. "These communications were   
   repeatedly invited, responded to and encouraged by him over a   
   period of three years."   
      
   Reitman's attorney, Donald Kravet, said he's drafted a lawsuit   
   against the university and Ronell, and are considering legal   
   options.
