BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) — Western Washington University has suspended without pay a theater professor because of student complaints.
The Bellingham Herald reports this is the second time the university has suspended associate professor Perry Mills without pay. University spokesman Paul Cocke says two students filed complaints about Mills this quarter.
Mills has been a tenured associate professor in the Theater Arts Department since 1994. He will be suspended while university officials investigate the allegations.
Mills took the university to court after he was suspended in 2004 with pay and 2006 without pay because of previous complaints. The Washington Supreme Court ruled earlier this month that the university acted properly when disciplining Mills at that time.
