Kipnis has drawn fire for discouraging a former graduate student from reporting allegations of sexual misconduct towards her supervising post-doctoral candidate, confirmed by screenshotted text messages, and did not report the incident to Title IX investigators, stating "You don’t need [an] investigation now, even though you will most probably win."{{Cite web |date=2023-01-24 |title='I'm just disgusted': How alleged sexual misconduct stole one student's passion for academic science |url=https://www.statnews.com/2023/01/24/alleged-sexual-misconduct-washington-university-stole-student-passion-academic-science/ |access-date=2023-01-24 |website=STAT News |language=en}} While initially covered by the Washington University student newspaper,{{Cite web |date=2022-12-07 |title=Alleged sexual misconduct and support system failures cause graduate student to drop her WU PhD degree - Student Life |url=https://www.studlife.com/scene/2022/12/06/support-system-failures-cause-graduate-student-to-drop-her-wu-phd-degree/ |access-date=2022-12-08 |website=Student Life - The independent newspaper of Washington University in St. Louis |language=en}} this incident was later corroborated in an independent investigation by [[Stat News]].
