The university said it had learnt about the allegations against American professor Ezra Wasserman Mitchell through anonymous online posts and on social media. It maintained that it had not received any complaints from students against Mitchell.

The university said it also has in its possession a booklet with US media reports about alleged sexual misconduct by Lawrence E. Mitchell, who was the former dean of law school at Case Western Reserve University.

The American professor has changed his name from Lawrence E. Mitchell to Ezra Wasserman Mitchell.

The university is under pressure to explain why it had invited the controversial professor to teach at the law school.

The booklet carries an article published by the Cleveland Scene Magazine about a lawsuit filed in 2013 by Mitchell’s former colleague Raymond Ku.

Ku, a former associate dean at the American law school, had alleged that he had witnessed Mitchell’s sexually inappropriate behavior with female staff members and had heard from others that the dean had propositioned female students for threesomes.

The report claimed that Ku had reported to the university’s provost, vice president for diversity and faculty diversity officer, but the school found that the allegations were unsubstantiated.

Ku later claimed that Mitchell “retaliated” against him by trying to move him out of the school faculty, shutting him out of meetings and assigning him undue responsibilities.

Ku filed a lawsuit in which he also listed the university administrators as defendants, along with Mitchell.

The parties reached a settlement and Mitchell resigned from his post in 2014, the US media reports said.

In July 2016, Mitchell announced on his now-defunct personal blog that he had officially changed his name into Ezra Wasserman Mitchell.
