Juilliard Professor Fired for Misconduct Following Investigation

The Juilliard School has fired former composition department chair Robert Beaser after an independent investigation found credible evidence of misconduct, including interfering with academic work and violating school policy with an unreported relationship. The investigation was launched after allegations of sexual misconduct in the composition department from the late 1990s and early 2000s were made public. The school also plans to prohibit all amorous or sexual relationships between faculty and students starting in the fall.
