Reno Gazette-Journal: Regents uphold firing of tenured UNR professor

The dismissal of University of Nevada, Reno professor Hussein Hussein was upheld Thursday by the Nevada Board of Regents.

Hussein was fired in April after a hearing on allegations he plagiarized graduate students’ work and used a portion of money collected from 1997 to 2005 to improve his laboratory instead of giving it to the university.
