Sexual violence: at Bordeaux-Montaigne University, the philosophy professor accused of rape reinstated – L’Humanité

It’s the world turned upside down, you could say. Barbara Stiegler, professor of philosophy at Bordeaux-Montaigne University, who accused one of her colleagues of having raped her, has been using her right of withdrawal since November 6. She no longer goes to university. Because the colleague in question was reinstated, after a year of protective suspension.

“The president of the university began by declaring in the press – in the edition of South West of November 9 – that I exercised my right of withdrawal and, in fact, that I was protected. Which greatly shocked the university community. Then, he waited two weeks to tell me that if I wanted to stay at home, I could use videoconferencing and give my classes by zoom to meet the students! » Clearly, it is up to the victim to flee and not the alleged attacker.
