News Brief: Rally for fired and banned professor to be next month
A rally for fired professor Hussein S. Hussein will be held May 10 on the corner of Ninth and Virginia streets.
Hussein was fired and banned from campus earlier this month for plagiarizing students’ theses when sending excerpts to companies sponsoring the research. He was also charged with mishandling money by funneling donations to his gift account instead of his grant account. The university can skim money from grant accounts to pay indirect costs, like building maintenance.
But the rally fliers say that Hussein was fired for revealing animal neglect in 2004, leading to 56 animal care violations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
“The rally is also to show (the University of Nevada, Reno) and local government that whistle-blowers should be honored, not punished!” the flier reads.
