A female dentist and graduate student has sued Temple University in federal court, alleging she has been subjected to sexual harassment and discrimination by a professor at Temple's dental school.
The dentist, Anastasia Batsis, is seeking money damages from both the university and the professor, Asterios Doukoudakis.
The alleged wrongdoing began in January 1991, when Batsis enrolled in the school's prosthodontics program, which Doukoudakis directs, and included ''inappropriate and unwanted sexual touching, comments and other advances," the suit states.
Batsis, according to the suit, spurned the professor's advances, and, as a result, wasn't able to graduate this past June.
