Quote: "A tenured Ohio University professor has quit - just months after the school started the unusual process of stripping him of his job because of accusations that he had a string of inappropriate relationships with students and a subordinate.

C. Aaron Kelley, the former dean of OU's College of Business, will retire at the end of June.

University officials recently gave Kelley, 62, two options: resign or face having his tenure revoked, which would open the door for OU to fire him."

"In 1996, Kelley stepped down as the business-school dean after having an affair with his secretary."
