2019 Firing

Montoya was terminated from Stanford employment in May 2019. His termination occurred after an investigation, led by an outside attorney and an unnamed Stanford faculty member, found what Singh called “multiple violations of the University’s conduct policies.” The investigation was launched in response to “complaints relating to his conduct,” according to the email.[4] In June 2019, the Stanford Daily reported that a former member of the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Initiative, which Montoya previously led, stated that “violations of sexual harassment and sexual misconduct” were behind the complaint.[5]
