Obviously situations like the should a thorough investigation and appropriate action taken if compelling evidence of guilt is found (including termination). Unfortunately, these situations often come down to he said she said which makes it a nightmare to deal with.
It's difficult to terminate someone over an accusation unless there is evidence of a pattern of behavior and perhaps it should't be easy to fire someone and ruin there career over a first accusation-barring additional evidence. I think it would be a lawsuit nightmare is people could be terminated solely as a result of an allegation. Everyone here knows about at least one loony vindictive student.
Sad but true but it is often easier for departments to just encourage faculty to go elsewhere.

That's really not how it works. Allegations go to the university EO office and they do thorough investigations. They collect documents (emails/texts, etc) and also investigate other students who the faculty member has worked with closely. They do not terminate for "allegations" because they are aware of the potential repercussions. Remember, universities have teams of lawyers. When someone is terminated, or forced to resign, it usually means that these allegations were beyond substantiated.
