Round two ...

So when Bill Shipp said the UGA Athletic Association was in for a world of hurtin' what he really meant to say was the Campus Police. Of course, seeing how frequently the football team has sent folks over to the latter's holding tank, it's understandable he mixed the two up.

No matter. The Banner-Herald reports that Lt. Roderick Platt filed a complaint with a litany of allegations against UGA Police Chief Jimmy Williamson. Platt claims Williamson "has continued to use his position of authority to make threats, intimidate and spread his sexually explicit and harassing behavior upon me and other employees throughout the police department." The chief has supposedly brought in porn for officers to see, become 'obsessed' with a current employee's web site which shows pictures of her modeling career, made offensive sexual and racial comments during his tenure and fostered an environment which has resulted in low work morale.

It's pretty damning stuff.

In other UGA sexual harassment news, President Adams rejected former Grady College dean John Soloski's appeal for an independent hearing.

Just so we're clear here ... Adams has overseen the hiring of a basketball coach who brought the program down in scandal and two administrators who faced allegations of sexual harassment and severe mismanagement. OK. Connect the dots.

What is it about UGA that is spurring sexual harrassment? Or is it just the best way to smear someone?

Again, it seems like a pretty loose definition of sexual harrassment. Not that there doesn't seem to be fireable behavior involved, but I see no mention of quid pro quo.
