I was planning to ask a professor for a rec letter for next MD app cycle, but I recently found out he has 8 sexual harassment lawsuits against him from the 90s. He is a tenured professor who has held high ranking NSF/NIH/HHMI positions. Our relationship has been nothing out of the ordinary for a student-professor relationship. I'm just wondering if maybe an adcom might disregard a letter from him, or worse, if he could end up sexually harassing me if I ask for a letter. But he knows my work ethic better than most of my other natural sciences professors do. Thoughts?
