Quote:
"A former professor at Rust College entered a guilty plea to a charge of sexual battery Monday morning."
"The lawsuit claims that Rust asked Oliver to resign in the early 2000’s because of an alleged inappropriate sexual relationship with “at least one female student,” then he was hired by Memphis City Schools, which reportedly fired him after investigation into a report of a minor’s molestation.
Rust re-hired him in 2012."
"After his arrest, the lawsuit states, Oliver voluntarily resigned his faculty post at Rust."
