The harassment scandal at Lund University now leads to the department of Astronomy and theoretical physics being dissolved. Still, the harassers seem to face mild consequences at best, and university management seem to take a "mistakes were made on all sides" stance. (Swedish, link to translation below).

Apologies for link to the Bird Site, but Anders Johansen, former department chair, has shared an English translation of the news story.

@thriveth Yet AGAIN, the names of the abusers are not mentioned in the article (while many others are not anonymous in this piece)! This article in Nature a while ago, cited in the DN, does mention their names: Sofia Feltzing and Melvyn Davies. Stop protecting these harassers!

@harcel
That's just the swedish press ethical standard, without a conviction in court you got to be pretty famous to get you name for in the paper for harassment. Don't expect a national broadsheet to challenge the guidelines on press ethics over some curiosity story about a interpersonal conflict at a university
