Indeed, once Trejo left the table, an embarrassed Professor Humphrey subsequently felt it necessary to apologize to the students for Trejo's behavior. When referring to Trejo, a third graduate student, Timothy Weber, stated that the entire conversation 'had sexual undertones' and a propositioning aspect, adding that Trejo 'seemed to be testing the waters, possibly trolling for females or finding companionship for the evening.' Graduate student Blair Hicks further was of the opinion that Trejo seemed to be taking some sort of sadistic pleasure in making the female students feel uncomfortable. One graduate student, Leun Otten, stated that Trejo was using the conversation as a way to broach 'matters related to sex.' Graduate student Jennifer Isom and Wichita State University Professor Darryl Humphrey concurred with Otten's sentiments, stating that Trejo (who was married at the time) was trying to persuade the women at the table to embrace the notion that it is acceptable to have an extramarital affair. The administrators then proceeded to conduct their own independent investigation and, after review, refused to renew Trejo's contract.Įvery other man and woman seated at the table that evening at the conference was offended by Trejo's speech, concluding that he was 'out of control' and that his remarks were little more than thinly veiled sexual solicitations directed at the female graduate students in the group. Shoben, received several complaints from students about Trejo's misconduct and, after an investigation, expressed concerns about Trejo's 'trustworthiness, lack of judgment, and serious problems relating to students, especially women.' Thereafter, Shoben drafted a report of his conclusions and findings and contacted the University's administrators and recommended Trejo's termination. In October 1995, the chairman of the psychology department, Edward J. The University came to the conclusion after an investigation that Trejo had failed to meet these expectations.

Trejo's appointment was subject to renewal at the end of each school year, and he was eligible to be considered for tenure only if he met the University's expectations for teaching courses, researching and publishing articles, and serving as a mentor to students over the course of several years. Trejo was appointed to teach as a probationary, non-tenured assistant professor in the department of psychology at the University of Illinois. In August 1994, as part of an affirmative action plan, Leonard J.
