IOWA CITY — University of Iowa President Sally Mason has ordered all faculty and staff to undergo sexual harassment training.

The training had been limited only to supervisors, but Mason notified other faculty and staff on Tuesday that they also would have to participate in the training.

Mason’s decision follows the arrest of a University of Iowa political science professor who is accused of soliciting sexual favors from female students in exchange for higher grades in his class.

Arthur Miller was charged with four counts of bribery and has been placed on paid administrative leave.

In Mason’s message to faculty and staff, she says that such conduct will not be tolerated because it is damaging to students and the educational process.
