Derrida Papers Sexual Harassment Controversy Update

Available here. Related posts here and here. To recap briefly: Then faculty member Dragan Kujundzic was sanctioned by the University of California, Irvine, in 2004 as a consequence of allegations that he sexually harassed a graduate student. Shortly before his death, Jacques Derrida tried unsuccessfully to use his papers as leverage to force UC Irvine to drop its investigation of Kujundzic. After being sanctioned, Kujundzic accepted a job at the University of Florida, where he remains on the faculty, despite a concern that the U of Florida was unaware of the sanction when it hired him. Meanwhile, Derrida’s widow has refused to honor Derrida’s agreement to give his papers to UC Irvine, which has resulted in a lawsuit, the specifics of which seem quite confusing.
