I was sexually harassed by 3 professors who docked my grades
A former psychology student at The College of New Rochelle claims three professors there sexually harassed her, including one who sent her a selfie of his penis, but school officials took no action.
Instead, she got thrown off campus, she alleges.
Yvonne Taylor, 43, filed suit in Brooklyn Supreme Court, saying the three instructors made sexual demands in and outside the classroom, saying her grades suffered when she refused.
Taylor, a divorced mother of three, says the alleged abuse began in the fall of 2016 in professor Bryan Boatswain’s digital literacy course, according to court papers.
In a text message on April 11, 2017, Boatswain allegedly told her: “I’m thinking about you naked,” according to Taylor.
Boatswain denied the allegations.
Another professor, Hassan Shabazz, told Taylor he was attracted to her and that “he wanted to take me on vacation,” Taylor claims.
She got a B+ in his forensic psychology course, and Shabazz told her later that had she allowed him to perform oral sex on her, “I would have gotten an A,” Taylor told The Post.
Shabazz admitted to “flirting” with Taylor but denied the claim that he docked her grade.
The third professor, Jeffrey Davis, once said, “if there weren’t surveillance cameras pointing directly at him he would ‘bend her over’ and ‘take her,’” Taylor’s suit alleges.
He also texted Taylor photos of his penis, she alleges.
Davis could not be reached.
She says she stopped attending Davis’s classes in December and complained to another professor she trusted, Timothy Rodgers.
She says Rodgers agreed to let Taylor finish her courses online, then called security and had her escorted off the campus.
Not being able to attend classes in person hurt her grade point average, and she barely missed graduating with honors, Taylor said.
College spokeswoman Lenore Carpinelli declined to comment.
