Fresno Bee: Fresno State professor suspended
2 students allege shooting threat; others deny it.
Fresno State has suspended a tenured professor after two students charged that he threatened to bring a gun to class and start shooting.
Other students say he didn’t threaten the class. But the incident sparked a police investigation at California State University, Fresno, where officials now must decide whether to discipline a veteran professor who last year received letters from top campus officials praising his performance and contributions.
Joe Parks, a professor of education, denies making the threats, but admits he can be controversial.
