University professor accused of moral and sexual harassment
Professor Antônio Carlos Severo Menezes, effective professor at the State University of Goiás (UEG), is the professor who is at the center of a series of serious accusations of sexual and moral harassment, made by a group of former students of undergraduate courses in Chemistry and Pharmacy.
The reports of these former students are consistent and point out that the acts of harassment would have occurred in several areas of the university, including classrooms, research laboratories and corridors.
The students also report that the harassment occurred both during the Organic Chemistry classes given by Professor Menezes, as well as in the research laboratories, where he occupied the position of coordinator.
Some of the victims claim they were publicly humiliated in front of the class because of grades low, while others describe situations where they have been the target of sexual advances and comments inappropriate.
A former student who joined the university in 2000 revealed that, since that time, all students faced bullying within the institution.
According to her, several complaints were filed with the Ombudsman over the years, but no effective action was taken in response to these reports.
Another former student shared that the professor in question boasted of the extreme rigor of his discipline, making a point of emphasizing that failure was common, which made him the only professor to minister it. This behavior was considered a source of intimidation for students, creating an environment of pressure and discomfort.
After the public exposure of cases of harassment at UEG, former students and a teacher joined forces and created a mobilization group to communicate and discuss the actions to be taken in relation to the complaints.
The university officially responded by issuing a note in which it stated that it does not tolerate any type of harassment and that it is committed to rigorously investigating the complaint made in June. To ensure an impartial and transparent investigation, an investigation was opened to analyze the case in detail.
A defenseProfessor Antônio Carlos Severo Menezes emphatically denied the accusations of harassment made against him. According to the defense team, the allegations are categorically untrue and have no basis in hard evidence.
