Juilliard Composer Fired for Sexual Misconduct.

Juilliard School in New York has fired Robert Beaser, chair of its composition department for 24 years, following an independent legal investigation that found credible evidence of sexual misconduct. The case against Beaser had been brought to light last December in a VAN magazine report on predatory sexual activities at Juilliard. The school has vowed to improve student protection and will ban all romantic or sexual relationships between faculty and students from the new academic year.
