Title IX Investigations and Dismissal
Christenfeld was fired from his tenured professorship and stripped of emeritus status after a year-long investigation found he had violated Title IX by emailing a female student pornography in 2018. He had previously been the subject of five separate complaints, including substantiated allegations of sexual misconduct on university property and undisclosed romantic relationships with undergraduate students. However, the university determined none of the prior complaints warranted significant disciplinary action.
