an assistant dean of the academic programs pursued an on going sexual relationship with a student, a marriaged chinese immigrant. who is also his secretary . this dean is also a married man.

And he is the direct causation of my pending divorce.
his affirmative conduct is a negligent infliction of emotional distress
I'm not question about 1 man stealing another man's wife. I am looking at the position trust he was placed in. the breach of professional and fiduciary duties. can the dean and university be held liable ? are they legal remedies against the university and the assistant dean

You asked this one already. No lawsuits for "alienation of affection." All you get is a no-fault divorce.
I agree with Mr. Stone. You are simply trying to evade the fact that you want to sue for alienation of affection, which is not recognized in California.
The dean most certainly has fiduciary and ethical duties . . . to his employer, not you, and the university has NO duty to police the personal conduct of its employees for their spouse's benefit. You have the right to a divorce. That is it. NO OTHER REMEDIES ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU FOR THIS. STOP ASKING.
