Former professor sues Benedictine

Chicago Tribune: Former professor sues Benedictine

A former Benedictine University psychology professor is suing the school, saying he was coerced into resigning after administrators learned he was having an affair with a much younger female student.

DeKalb resident James Iaccino, who once chaired the clinical psychology department, left the Catholic university in October after 25 years. He does not deny having a relationship with a female student “under the age of 21” but says in papers filed in DuPage County Circuit Court that he was “emotionally distraught” when he agreed to quit.
