I guess we'll have to agree to disagree here. If a company or organization receives multiple independent accusations against someone, it is absolutely their business to look into it and decide if this is a person they want to keep being involved with, completely separate from any police involvement. It may even be their business to bring this information to the police and provide any evidence they may have if the accusations are serious enough.
At most companies just the serious suspicion of financial fraud, repeated sexual harassment or the covering up of these is plenty enough to get you fired.
Not really, and not their job. If we wanted that, we could always set a higher bar for the criminal justice system.
>Lots of bad behaviors aren't criminal, or aren't usually prosecuted, but should still be grounds for removal.
In this case we're not talking about chewing gum on a board meeting, or treating employees bad (e.g. shouting at them) or something like that.
We're talking about actual criminal behaviors -- but only "alleged" ones. Those should be handled legally or not at all.
Else not a point in having a legal system, if any accusation can lead to "mob justice" or ad-hoc measures against someone.
How about their don't recognize or handle anything?
If Jean-Claude Arnault is guilty of sexual harassment, let him legally go to jail / pay a fine / serve community service or whatever.
That's for the law to decide.
They can then take them off the academy (or not) -- if he is convicted.
Otherwise, it's not their business to do anything about it, and even less so for something "alleged".
