UM professor reported for ‘disturbing,‘ ‘ethically bankrupt‘ blog

In August, four women filed a Title IX lawsuit against UM alleging sex discrimination. Weeks later, new allegations emerged that leaders at the School of Law discouraged students and professors from coming forward with their own Title IX complaints. The law school's deans have since resigned, and the university has stated it intends to launch an independent investigation into the complaints. 

Now, the Montana Kaimin has learned that a computer science professor has been reported by his superiors for writing an online blog described by coworkers as "disturbing" and "ethically bankrupt."

This week, news reporter Andy Tallman speaks with Kaimin Cast host Austin Amestoy and breaks down the content of professor Rob Smith's blog and YouTube videos -- and the reaction from UM staff and students.
