Then You have

Quote From: nasturtium

I work in higher education at a local, prestigious university.  I have a masters degree and over 10 years experience, so I know I'll find a job.  I just really wanted to work at THIS university.  It is so small that I really would not want to transfer to a different department.  I'm still weighing my options and appreciate the feedback.  Thanks!! 

  

two questions to answer. 

  

1.  Which is better for ME - to work at a 'prestigious' university - where this guy is   or 

  

2.  Go to another university for piece of Mind, and the freedom to think, grow, and learn. 

  

Come on now - not only use your intelligence, but Also Common Sense!

You  have a job that you wanted- why should you have to run? You did nothing wrong!  Probably everyone one else at this small university knows his entire tale of woe, so you aren't the first. Simply tell him you are unable to meet with him again, and feel uncomfortable discussing anything except work related issues. You are a professional, so is he. He should realize that he was WAY outside his boundaries. He was looking for a quickie, and when you behaved professionally, he hopefully got the message that you aren't into his extra-curricular activities.
