A SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY School of Law adjunct professor resigns over the school’s handling of a fellow faculty member’s military-bashing email.

U.S. Army Reserves Major Robert J. Roughsedge, who spent eight years as an adjunct Suffolk Law professor, resigned in a letter to Dean Camille Nelson over Suffolk Law Professor Michael Avery’s five-paragraph email to colleagues stating that it was “shameful” for students at the school to send care packages to soldiers who “have gone overseas to kill other human beings.”

Roughsedge called in from Kabul to explain his decision to resign.... “I do not want to provide them cover from what they really are.”
The law school should have fired Avery and promoted Roughsedge. More here.
