Sexual Misconduct Allegations: In March 2019, Dalby was accused of making inappropriate, sexually suggestive remarks to a doctoral student, leading to an internal investigation by UT’s Office for Inclusion and Equity.

Findings of Misconduct: The investigation identified Dalby as one of 17 faculty and staff members involved in sexual misconduct, with evidence supporting the claims against him.

Controversial Grant Award: Despite these findings, Dalby received a substantial $4 million grant from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas for cancer research, sparking controversy and concern among students and faculty.

University’s Response Questioned: Critics argue that UT’s decision to award the grant reflects a lack of transparency and accountability, potentially compromising student safety and well-being.

Erosion of Trust: The university’s handling of the situation has led to diminished trust among the academic community, with calls for more stringent measures against faculty misconduct.

Impact on Student Safety: Allowing Dalby to continue his research raises concerns about the safety and comfort of students working under his supervision.
