Quote:
"A rare effort to remove a tenured professor was stopped short this week when Rutgers University officials announced a settlement in which the teacher, who was accused of sexually harassing a student and mistreating others, agreed to resign and drop his own lawsuit against the university in exchange for a payment of $92,500.
The settlement came in the case of William K. Powers, 64, an anthropology professor at the state university's New Brunswick campus"
