If Stanford made an agreement to trade SJ's resignation for a dropped investigation then all they have done is safeguarded their own students while putting those at his new university at risk. Either an investigation is warranted or it is not, there should be no cover-ups if there was legitimate wrong-doing. If a mixed publishing record can tank a career, why shouldn't gross misconduct? His 'punishment' is a high-paid job in a lovely city that many in the discipline would covet.
Why did Simon Jackman give up his tenured position at Stanford?

What was his crime again? Hanging out at a bar? Having sex with a woman?

This. And he's still on APSA council.

Sex with a student. Plus illegal drugs. That's power abuse and illegal behavior.

I know a professor who once smoked reefer. The dean needs to fire his ass at once!

surely there's an update to this? the sleazeball just got away with it? what happened to the girl?
She's doing fine. Likes to tell the story about how she used to get free drugs by fulfilling her fantasy of having secks with her hot professor. Weirdly enough, she seems to be overcoming the trauma.

Funny (and sort-of related) story about Simon Jackman: Several years ago, I visited Stanford for admit weekend (I ended up choosing a different grad program, so was never a student there). But I noticed that on his office door, SJ posted, in a mocking way, his certificate of completion for the sexual harassment training that (I assume) all Stanford faculty are required to complete. And then during one of the dinners for the prospective students, SJ even joked about it in a sarcastic manner, saying something about how they couldn't serve alcohol at the admit weekend visits because their sexual harassment training told them not to.
Anyway, I never met SJ outside of that admit weekend visit, but he struck me as a kind of a man-child who thinks the rules don't apply to him and never grew past his partying years.
