"An Aug. 27 letter from Kenneth Flanagan, the chair of the university’s social work department, said the school intended to dismiss Hoffarth over her relationship with the student, who had graduated from UND with a bachelor’s degree earlier that month but was set to stay at the school to pursue a master’s degree. Hoffarth appealed to a university committee on Sept. 13, but ultimately signed a resignation agreement on Nov. 21 that, in effect, kept her on the school’s payroll through the end of June 2020."
