(NEWSER) – Neil deGrasse Tyson will be keeping his job at the American Museum of Natural History after all, the New York Times reports. A probe by the institution into Tyson’s alleged sexual misconduct, including a rape accusation, apparently didn’t find enough to dethrone him as head of the museum’s Hayden Planetarium. “Because this is a confidential personnel matter, there will be no further statements by the museum,” says a museum spokeswoman. Two women had accused Tyson of inappropriate behavior on the website Patheos—one an associate physics professor, the other his former assistant—and a third woman had accused Tyson of raping her in 1984 when they studied at the University of Texas, Austin.

The associate prof, Katelyn Allers, says a company hired by the museum interviewed her for a few hours and reached out to witnesses she offered. Is she surprised by the outcome? “This kind of the way the world works,” she says.
