The Rotten Story of Sexual Harassment at Weimar University,

Weimar University is listed in the official directory of the Seventh-day Adventist church. Many prominent conservative leaders frequently visit this institution to give commencement speeches or take part in other events. On August 8, 2022, a sexual harassment lawsuit was filed against the university and a former vice president. The complaint alleges that Weimar University did not do enough to stop the "willfully, wantonly, recklessly, torturously, strictly liable, statutorily liable or otherwise, for the injuries" committed against a young girl, a girl who was a former employee, former student, and the daughter of a Seventh-day Adventist pastor who was the men's dean at Weimar University at the time of the alleged sexual assault.

After being sexually assaulted and subjected to months of sexually explicit comments, Melissa Osadchuck told Dr. Neil Nedley, the director and president of Weimar, that she didn't feel safe seeing the alleged perpetrator, Dr. George Araya, at different times on campus or around the campus church. Melissa expressed her stress and discomfort at Weimar's continued employment of Dr. George Araya. According to the lawsuit, nothing was done, and she quit out of concern for her safety and peace of mind. She filed her lawsuit eight months later, on August 8, 2022.

The sad part of this story is that not only did Melissa leave Weimar, her father, Pastor Vasily Osadchuck, is no longer there either. The alleged victim and the alleged victim's father are gone. Weimar now has a new "men's dean." However, the alleged perpetrator remained. He was simply moved around.
