This talk by Prof. Lilly is heartbreaking. I believe Switzerland and ETH Zurich should clarify once and for all what happened and take appropriate action. Let us not sweep this under the rug. It is not a sign of weakness to admit that a severe error was made.

The error was that the department tolerated her misbehavior for years before finally pulling the plug on her. And a big reason for that was because he kept covering for her. She was (and probably still is) a terrible person who heaped abuse on anyone that couldn’t defend themselves. And everyone in the department knew about it.
Dissolving the department might have been a not very clean approach to resolve the situation but likely the only way to do it for legal reasons.
Would you like to provide us with a brief summary of the topic, so we aren’t forced to click the video to find out what were meant to be excited about?
