Update for Personal life

Hi, I am working on improvements for John B. Frank's page. The second paragraph in Personal life includes excessive detail largely based on a primary source, which seems to violate WP:NPOV. Would you consider rephrasing as follows:

In March 2024, Wesleyan University asserted it had investigated and resolved a Title IX complaint against Frank filed in September 2023, in which a student reported that Frank had put his hand on their back during a conversation at a public board function in February 2023. A statement from the university said that Frank didn't recall the student or incident, and apologized for the unintentional discomfort caused. The university granted the student their requested accommodations.^[1]

Thank you for your time. I hope to post additional suggestions and updates for the article in the future. LeiaVOaktree (talk) 20:51, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@LeiaVOaktree: Hopefully you will understand that this particular kind of edit request requires a greater degree of scrutiny than many others you have made. I think the last sentence of the paragraph in the article now adds little value and is more appropriate for a news article, but I'll have to give some thought to the reframing you've proposed above. In the meantime I'll remove the sentence I mentioned. --Jprg1966 ^(talk) 01:48, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done I made it clearer in the second sentence that the Title IX complaint was resolved (and when). However, I kept the original sentence about the complaint because I found it to be properly sourced, worded from NPOV, and otherwise unproblematic. I think the text now flows naturally: In September 2023 a student filed a complaint; by March 2024, the university resolved the complaint. --Jprg1966 ^(talk) 15:39, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, Jprg1966. I appreciate your work on this. LeiaVOaktree (talk) 17:28, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
