(October 7, 2008)--One of two tenured engineering professors suspended from the University of Texas at San Antonio for alleged violations of the school's ethics policy says he has been reinstated.
Alberto Arroyo said he returns to work this week after the school dropped its case against him and reinstated him last week on the eve of a faculty tribunal hearing.
UTSA officials are proceeding with their case against the other professor, Chia Shun "Rocky" Shih, who appealed his firing to a faculty tribunal, which heard his case last week and will send its conclusions to University of Texas System regents for a final decision.
University officials said that dropping the case against Arroyo was best for the students and the university.
The university's ethics investigation focused on a land deal in which several people, including Shih and Arroyo, bought 33 acres near Helotes.
The land, proposed as a park by the city of Helotes, had been the topic of a semester-long student project in Shih's class.
