The articles read like it was all email-based, and that the women who were sexually harassed were college students (adults).

I'm not jumping the gun to call an 82 year-old man a sexual predator over this stuff. When it comes to this kind of behavior, I stand by these words of wisdom:
Once an asshole, always an asshole.

If this guy is a predator, there should be 60 years of paw-prints that come to light in very short order.

Richard Feynman candidly shared that in his private life, men were basically invisible to him, he only noticed women. He was the kind of guy who liked to lie on the beach sipping a cocktail and smiling like a creep at the young women in bikinis. He was open and shameless about his view of women.

By today's standards, that guy would not be allowed anywhere near a college classroom. His contributions to physics would not even be discussed in the modern news world. All we'd get is a byline about a creep who wrote a paper that no one took seriously for decades.
