It seems a married University of North Carolina professor had sex with some of his students and paid one of them $2,400 out of a departmental Trust fund. He took her to academic conferences where she spent several nights with him in hotel rooms paid for with state funds. He also told another student where to find men who would pay her for sex All the professor got was a reprimand and research leave with a continuation of his $64,000 state taxpayer supported salary. The professor s Girlfriend however was forced to pay the professor s wife a $10,000 heart Balm for break ing up her marriage.
