A settlement has been reached in a sexual-harassment suit against Derek Walcott, the 1992 winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and a professor of writing at Boston University.
The suit was filed in May 1995 by Nicole Niemi, a former graduate student of Mr. Walcott’s. The parties in the case, which included Boston University as well as Mr. Walcott and Ms. Niemi, refused to discuss the terms of the settlement, which was subject to a confidentiality agreement.
C. Fred Welensky, a lawyer who represented Ms. Niemi, said that the lawsuit had been"settled to everyone’s mutual satisfaction.” He would not elaborate.
