    Professor's call to action against misconduct published widely

    May 19, 2021
    Dr. Sarah Young, a UNG assistant professor of political science at UNG, has had her call to action against faculty sexual misconduct in academia published in 14 scholarly journals.

    Article By: Clark Leonard

    Dr. Sarah Young, assistant professor of political science at the University of North Georgia (UNG), is shining a light on faculty sexual misconduct in academia.

    She and Dr. Kimberly Wiley, assistant professor at the University of Florida, co-authored the article "Erased: Why faculty sexual misconduct is prevalent and how we could prevent it," which was published in the Journal of Public Affairs Education in February. Since then, 13 other scholarly journals published an adapted editorial version of the original manuscript.

    It is unprecedented in the 200-year history of public administration research in the U.S. for a letter of this kind to be published in multiple academic journals, Young said.

    "They recognize the importance and the salience of this issue," said Young, who is also assistant director of academic engagement at UNG.

    Young expressed appreciation to Dr. Dlynn Williams, Department of Political Science and International Affairs department head; Dr. Carly Redding, director of Academic Engagement; and others at UNG for their support of her efforts to shine a light on this challenge in the field of public affairs.
