I went to UCC. While it's a fine university, with a lot of history and high aspirations, it's also quite small (approx 15000 students) with a small staff. And in all these types of situations, if either has any political pull with the higher ups the whole thing can get blown out of proportion very quickly. If Dylan Evans produced this paper with the sole purpose of harassing (of which he has been cleared) or offending the woman then they should go after him for wasting university time/money on pointless research. If it is a legitimate paper and it was appropriate for him to show it to the woman, but she was offended by descriptions of bat fellatio then you've got to wonder what she's doing in the dept. of medicine? I'm sure there are far more offensive things out there and I would hate to have a researcher unwilling to look at those topics just because they're offensive to their sensibilities. If it is a legitimate paper but it was not appropriate for him to show it to her (i.e. she expressed no interest in it and it's not part of her job) then you've got to question his motives. Was it just a "passing the dirty joke email around the office" type scenario, or was it "hey look at this interesting results I found" type scenario. Regardless, he will now probably have to move universities as most institutions don't like their dirty laundry being aired in public (assuming it was he who made all of this public)
