You may have read something about a professor at Southern Utah University who is being denied tenure ostensibly because he swore in class, but "really" because he is too liberal. David Tufte, an economist at SUU, has a very interesting post on the matter.

Having a close friend who does personnel work for an university, I have learned quite a bit about how colleges react to problems with the faculty.
It is apparent that the administration is hiding the real reason the professor was fired. When an administration starts acting like this one is, you can bet that sex is involved.
