Judge sides against UGA

A federal judge is recommending that the University of Georgia clear the name of the campus' former journalism dean. The judge said in court documents Friday that UGA should rescind sexual harassment charges against John Soloski. The judge called the university's probe into the harassment allegations made by employee Janet Jones Kendall "arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable." Soloski resigned from the deanship at UGA's College of Journalism in 2005 after Kendall filed a complaint against him for making comments about her appearance. He sued the university in 2006, alleging UGA President Michael Adams used the harassment allegation to settle a long-standing grudge and force him to resign.
