Iowa settles with tenured UI professor resigning in lieu of termination
The University of Iowa, the Attorney General, and the Board of Regents report a settlement with Thorsten Rudroff after internal investigations. Rudroff resigns to relinquish tenure rights and stays away from three complainants while agreeing not to sue or seek employment at the university. He receives 15000 dollars total, with most allocated to legal fees, and must cooperate with agency inquiries. The deal avoids admission of guilt and limits his contact with involved parties.
