University of Alaska Fairbanks student newspaper The Sun Star was subjected to sexual harassment investigations nearly a year after Professor Jensine Anahita filed complaints based on two articles published in April 2013. The first, a satirical article in the paper鈥檚 annual April Fool鈥檚 Day issue, described the university鈥檚 plan to construct a vagina-shaped building and included a picture from the 1998 PG-13 rated film Patch Adams. The second was an investigative report exploring hateful messages posted to the anonymous UAF Confessions Facebook page. The report included screenshots of messages on the page. After a lengthy investigation, UAF concluded that the articles were constitutionally protected speech. Anahita appealed the investigation鈥檚 conclusions, and UAF appointed an external attorney to review the investigation. Following a January 15, 2014, letter from 果冻传媒app官方, the reviewer confirmed that the articles enjoy full constitutional protection.
