As reported in the January 27, 1995 issue of the New York Times, an arts College ethics committee (since disbanded) recommended sanctions against Maas for sexual harassment. . On June 23, 1995 the Cornell University Administration published a press release released by Henrik Dullea, vice president for university relations, that noted: "Professor Maas was not found in its present proceedings to have either had, or sought, an intimate sexual relationship with any of his students nor to have engaged in the physically abusive behaviors often associated with the term 'sexual harassment.' Professor Maas has had a long history of dedicated service to Cornell University and its students, faculty, staff and alumni. It is the University's hope that with the conclusion of this proceeding, that service will continue." He continued as a distinguished professor and award-winning university mentor for 18 more years until his retirement on December 31, 2011.
For his teaching, Maas has received the American Psychological Association's Distinguished Teaching Award, Cornell's Clark Award for Distinguished Teaching, and the Merrill Presidential Scholars Award (four times) for being an outstanding mentor at Cornell.
