"Clemmons’ account of an unwelcome kiss was 'the one that stood out, the one that was an actual allegation,' Robinson said. When she spoke to investigators about her experience, she didn’t back off the allegation that she’d been mistreated, the board members said. But she added a detail, three board members told me, which the board has not made public until now. 'As a result of the investigation, we learned that it was a kiss on the cheek,' one of the board members, New York University historian Steven Hahn, said in a telephone interview last week."
