The University of Connecticut on Thursday informed two tenured music professors that it was seeking to fire them. The move came the day after the university released a report -- prepared by an outside lawyer -- that detailed how the university responded to numerous allegations and rumors that Robert Miller, one of the professors, inappropriately touched children at a summer camp and engaged in inappropriate touching and other behavior with male UConn students. The report found extensive evidence to back the allegations against Miller. Further, the report found that David Woods -- the other professor and formerly Miller's dean -- did nothing appropriate about the allegations. (The report quotes Miller as saying he did try to dismiss Miller, but said that there is no evidence for this.) Under UConn's collective bargaining procedures, Thursday's letters to the two professors start a process that they could contest.
