Sexual harassment complaints[edit]

Sexual harassment complaints against Balakrishnan have been reported in major news outlets like the Chronicle of Higher Education. I understand that the Google doc from the accusers is a primary source and thus shouldn't be cited, but is there a way to acknowledge the complaints on this page without violating BLP policy? It seems very strange to ignore the issue, since the Wikipedia pages of many academics recently accused of sexual harassment as part of the #metoo movement have that fact reflected in their Wikipedia articles.

The Chronicle of Higher Education has published a new article about these allegations and I think the tone of it is well balanced. I'd like to re-add a section on the sexual harassment complaints based on this article. Are there any objections? https://www.chronicle.com/article/How-Sexual-Assault-Accusations/242156?key=wtLhoBtWjszV5UEnkEUoctyjMIB4hZVtLmouYil0Hlj-nEVEjdVBxq0xWIzQJru2OVozLV8zMUU3dEhraGdaT3p6T0J4RU83emhQc0lhTVpmWWpXUklhc3k0OA

No objections. I think it should be added. --Marguerite Duras In France (talk) 04:40, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
