In response, 13 prominent sociologists—including two Harvard professors—wrote a letter in the Penn daily newspaper defending the accused professor, which in turn spurred the alleged victim to issue a public statement asserting that his works were not adequately cited.The conflagration was touched off by Penn Professor of Sociology, emeritus, Harold Bershady, who sent an e-mail to all department faculty last week accusing Penn Associate Professor Kathryn J.
