Disgusting if true, and one way to get rid of him and that contract.

Wait wait wait. The person Tucker is accused of sexually harassing is a "prominent sexual assault prevention advocate" who specifically spoke to the team multiple times about preventing sexual misconduct. Jeezus.
Wow. Looks bad. Of course he shouldn't be convicted in the media, and who knows if any of it is true. If there were witnesses to any of his actions we have a whole different story. I will say if you are a decent human being how could you be anything but sympathetic and supportive of a rape victim? I'm a lifelong jokester myself but there a some things you just don't joke about.
It brings to mind two possibilities. One of them being that Tucker is a complete fool and and idiot to target this person.

no
no one affiliated with the program or school can
he’s admitted to it but says it was consensual . like that matters in this case

he’s admitted to the behavior but says it was “consensual”
There is no reasonable explanation for Mel’s story, even if it’s true. And if it’s not true, it’s absolutely insane this man would go down that path unless he is mentally ill.
Hopefully the takeaway here is zero tolerance for this kind of behavior, regardless of who is being 100% truthful.

Tuck Leavin’
Correct.. there is plenty of other fish in the sea… but then again Tuckers married so this should should never happen….
But wait there is more…
“Who is Mel Tucker's wife? Jo-Ellyn Tucker, a former attorney and an active community leader. How long have Mel and Jo-Ellyn been married? They have been married for over 20 years”
!!!! man.. Tucker wife is an former attorney.. and he harassed a sexual harassment advocate who probably knows the playbook and how to document incident for idiots like him…
This guy should have known better.. and he will be fired…
Tucker is a fool. Can’t do this, ESPECIALLY at MSU, given recent history. No doubt MSU takes this opportunity to get out of its contract with Mel.

Am I the only one that finds it incredibly ironic that the fools that gave Tucker that ridiculous contract are now probably gonna be bailed out by giving that contract to an even bigger fool?
I guess that’s one way to protect your job, if you’re gonna hire incompetence, go absolutely all out so it doesn’t look like your fault when they inevitably fail…at least that way you know they’re not gonna come after your job!
