A sociology instructor who helped lead a faculty union vote of no confidence against the president of Inver Hills Community College in Minnesota says he may now return to campus after a three-month banishment, the Star-Tribune reported. Dave Berger was put on a paid investigative leave in February after an unidentified complaint was filed against him but was this week notified that the investigation is “reaching conclusion,” according to the Star-Tribune
Berger sued the college and its president, Tim Wynes, along with the Minnesota State Colleges and University System, two weeks ago, alleging (among other counts) that Wynes defamed him by publicly stating that the charges against Berger related to sexual harassment. Berger says his leave had nothing to do with harassment. The college has previously said that Berger’s leave had nothing to do with his union activities. Berger’s union, Inver Hills United, has campaigned for his return, and other supporters have created an online petition and Facebook page to “Bring Berger Back.”
