Court: UNC-CH must pay fired professor for time spent in Argentine jail

Posted Jun 16, 2015
The state Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that UNC violated its policies by placing a tenured professor on unpaid leave after his 2012 arrest on drug-smuggling charges in Argentina. The court ordered Superior Court Judge Allen Baddour to determine how much back pay is owed to Paul Frampton, whom the university fired last year for "personal misconduct and neglect of duty."
