Quote: 2013: "The mid-academic year resignation of tenured history professor Robert Hilderbrand Dec. 14 required students at the University of South Dakota to accept late adjustments made to their schedules that included new instructors and the replacement of a cancelled course."

"Hilderbrand was sanctioned by the university for inappropriate behavior with a female student about 15 years prior to the Cowles’ court case. According to a Feb. 26, 1997, article by The Volante, USD administration stripped him of his position as history department chair, his role as the Truman scholarship adviser and his position as sole honors program coordinator after finding him guilty of sexually harassing a female student."
