"Incorrect" approaches to female students: professor at the University of Cagliari suspended for 9 months

Attention considered morbid towards female students. Sexual double entendres during lessons. And approaches that have not been considered suitable for the academic environment, especially if they are attempted by a teacher and young women, future doctors, are "subjected" to them.

A shower of reports, reported in responses to anonymous questionnaires and also included in a signed "complaint", which led to the suspension for nine months of Angelo Scuteri, professor of internal medicine at the University of Cagliari, director of the specialization school and head of the Polyclinic.

The University's measure provides for a halt to teaching and research. Scuteri will not receive his teaching salary. He's shocked. He agrees to speak: «I just wanted to make the atmosphere with my students more informal. Now I'm living in the dark of the night."
