The many lies of Clarence L. McNeill: lying to the federal government about sexual harassment and assault

The many, many lies of “President of the SUNY-Wide Judicial Administrator group” and judicial administrator for SUNY Albany Clarence L. McNeill...

"The Director also informed OCR that the Office of Conflict Resolution typically receives complaints from the University Police Department, which the University Police Department has already investigated" (8).

"The Director noted that in theory, if a complaint of sexual harassment, including sexual assault, came to his office first, he would conduct the investigation. He noted, however, that in his six years as Director, he has never received such a complaint first; instead, these are usually referred by the University Police Department” (8 n. 7).

Clarence L. McNeill lied about having never received a complaint of sexual harassment prior to the University Police Department receiving it.


I had reported sexual harassment to Clarence L. McNeill, Director of the Office of Conflict Resolution, prior to reporting it to the University Police Department, something he claimed to OCR had never happened in six years. I reported on November 18, 2011 9:51:58 AM that Michael W. Barberich had joked about torturing one of his teaching assistants by hooking her to electrodes and shocking her until she screams. I had subsequently reported more to Mr. McNeill in person, and more in writing "The [October 10, 2011 10AM] one-on-one meeting with Dr. Altarriba in which I reported [Barberich's] act of sexual harassment by making an inappropriate sexual joke in a non-sexual context, which she claimed to take seriously at that time, followed soon after that [October 6, 2011] exchange with Debbie Bourassa."


Those are just a couple examples out of others.

As for conducting an investigation, Clarence L. McNeill did not inform me of one; he obstructed my access to the judicial system and sent threats to me and my family. To include but one for now:


"Please take this as a final warning. You need to forget about Prof. Barberich." Clarence L. McNeill to CKP December 8, 2011 10:39 AM


Clarence L. McNeill isn't the only liar at SUNY Albany. SUNY Albany's own policies lie:


"Victims shall: [...]

"Be free from any threat of retaliation or other attempt to prevent the reporting of sexual misconduct;

"Be free from unwanted pressure from campus personnel to: [...]

"Refrain from reporting sexual assaults for any reason, including the fear of unwanted personal publicity.


"Sexual assault is a broad term that includes [...] sexual harassment"

The reality:

At SUNY Albany, victims shall:

be subjected to threats of retaliation and other attempts to prevent the reporting of sexual misconduct;

Be subjected to unwanted pressure from campus personnel to refrain from reporting sexual assaults
