My wife, a tenured professor and a #MeToo victim, has sued @UMN_Music over harassment, discrimination and retaliation. In Congress I will make sure that universities and other employers are held accountable and that all #MeToo victims have legal remedies.

Allegations supported by evidence include a former @UMN_Music director looking under a professor's skirt and talking with male colleagues about what he saw and a professor every year asking graduate students in oral exams which scholars they want to "shag, marry or kill." Gross.

The federal judge said that this #MeToo case belongs in state court. Federal remedies for harassment victims aren't working. That will change when I get to Congress to represent #MN01. There needs to be a viable federal remedy for all #MeToo victims.

All this in a department that on the academic side (everything but music performance) hasn't promoted a woman to full professor in 33 years and puts minority faculty at the rock bottom of the payroll. If people can get away with that, current federal laws are next to useless.

Congress needs to pass laws that protect certain fundamental liberties nationwide. One is a woman's right to choose. Another is everyone's right to go to work or to school without being treated as a sex object. Congress needs to act NOW. #MN01: vote Blue!

These pervs chose the wrong woman to mess with. Every woman, however, deserves the right not to be harassed, treated as a sex object, discriminated and retaliated against. We are going to fix federal law to make sure this kind of thing stops for once and for all. #MN01.
