Quote:
"The investigation determined that Francis’ sexual
relationship with this student created a conflict of interest and violated University policy because Francis took no steps to resolve it appropriately. After reviewing the testimony and other evidence, the University’s Faculty and
Personnel Committee found that Francis had violated University policy and recommended that he be fired for cause. The University’s Board of Trustees accepted the
Committee’s recommendation and voted to terminate Francis’ employment in May of 2010."
