By Chris Acree —
Recently the University of Kentucky filed a lawsuit against its own student newspaper, The Kentucky Kernel, to prevent the release of documents pertaining to allegations of sexual assault between a former professor and several female students.
The school was investigating allegations made by several female students against James Harwood, an associate professor of entomology. Harwood would eventually reach a resignation agreement with the school, allowing him to be paid the remainder of his $109,900 annual salary in August and keep his benefits through the end of the year or until he finds another job.
