A tenured University of Colorado professor was dismissed Thursday, several months after the school’s chancellor sought to dismiss her and two years after she was publicly accused of sexual harassment.

Accusations against Amy Wilkins, who had tenure within CU-Boulder’s sociology department, surfaced in late 2018, after a report in the Chronicle of Higher Education and a subsequent article by a former student identified 15 reports made against Wilkins, alleging sexual misconduct and harassment.

According to the report by the former student, Wilkins bragged about sexual relationships with students and faculty, and that she pressured others into discussing their sexual history. She was also accused of showing her nude body to students and showing students other graphic sexual imagery. She also allegedly threatened students against speaking out.

The Chronicle report was published in November 2018, as was the report by the former student. She was placed on administrative leave. In February, UC-Boulder Chancellor Philip Distefano told Wilkins that he planned to dismiss her, according to information attached to the board’s agenda. She then sought a review by the Faculty Senate, which found that she had engaged in harassment and inappropriate conduct but that the conduct didn’t arise to dismissal. 

In August, system president Mark Kennedy recommended to the board that Wilkins be dismissed. The board voted 7 to 2 on Thursday to follow that recommendation.

“The Regents of the University of Colorado determine that the administration has demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that Professor Wilkins engaged in conduct that amounted to conduct falling below the standards of professional integrity,” the board wrote in the proposed resolution to dismiss her.
