1 Response to the Allegations by Fernanda Lopez Aguilar The internet is not a suitable place for adjudicating claims of misconduct for at least two reasons. First, there are substantial limitations on the presentation of evidence. There is no opportunity, for instance, to interrogate the protagonists or witnesses. In the present case, additionally, I am not permitted to cite materials that Lopez Aguilar had presented to Yale’s University-Wide Committee on Sexual Misconduct (including various provable falsehoods and inconsistencies that undermine her credibility), I must avoid anything that might be construed as retaliation against my accuser and I must respect the privacy of third parties who do not wish to be identified by name. Given these limitations, I focus here exclusively on alleged misconduct against Lopez Aguilar which, in any case, constitutes the bulk of the Buzzfeed article. Second, participants in internet discussions often respond emotionally to the inherent feel and plausibility of a speed-read story without a substantial effort to look critically and impartially at the evidence presented by both sides. In this regard, each participant in an internet proceeding such as this bears an important responsibility not unlike that of a juror in a court room trial. We owe to feminists the crucial insight that some very important social rules and practices – for example, those governing the distribution of domestic work – are not codified in the law but rather consist in, and evolve through, myriad particular decisions of individual participants. Trial by internet will always be a greatly suboptimal procedure. But our individual contributions determine how far it falls short. At its worst, trial by internet is as haphazard and unfair as stonings in Afghanistan. At its best, it can clarify the issues and achieve at least a partial weighing of the evidence. It is in the hope for as fair a trial as the internet can facilitate that I here submit my response to Lopez Aguilar’s allegations. My response, in brief, is that none of the alleged misconduct ever took place. I doubt I will be able fully to convince many of you in this forum. But I can provide a substantial amount of evidence that should easily suffice to convince you to at least suspend belief until these allegations can once more be adjudicated in a proper judicial forum. I understand why many people reading about the allegations on the internet rush to the conclusion that they must be true. We are only too familiar with the theme of older men making unwanted sexual advances to much younger women. There are frequent reports of sexual misconduct and assault in academia. We know that sexual
