CBS Corp’s board left Chief Executive Leslie Moonves in his post on Monday, July 30, as it discussed sexual harassment claims against him and took steps to select an outside counsel to lead an independent investigation into the matter, the company said in a statement.

It was not immediately clear if Moonves would stay on for the duration of the investigation.
