VCU renews contract for former Gov. Douglas Wilder despite student's sexual harassment allegation
Former Virginia Gov. Douglas Wilder, who was accused by a student earlier this year of sexual harassment, will remain employed by Virginia Commonwealth University for another year.
The university renewed Wilder’s contract as an adjunct professor, which was set to expire June 30 at the end of VCU’s fiscal year, a VCU spokesman said.
Wilder was accused of sexual harassment at the end of March by a VCU student who worked with the first elected black governor at the school bearing his name. The student said Wilder kissed her without her consent.
VCU declined to comment on the accusations when they were first reported by The Washington Post.
