Quote: "The University of Hawai'i has reached a settlement with a student who said she was sexually harassed by her UH-Hilo biology professor in 1998.

The university agreed to pay more than $138,000 to settle a lawsuit by Tammy Silva, who charged associate biology professor John Scott touched her breasts, sent her pornographic material by e-mail and offered to give her good grades in exchange for sexual favors."
