Ah, makes a lot more sense. I was assuming some time in the early naughts given the school's timeline, and was disappointed I couldn't find a detailed account.

> The false resume and the firing are the parts of the story that I have personal knowledge of. The financial allegations are third hand, but I believe them to be true.

To clarify, I don't doubt this happened :)

> I've occasionally wondered whether this might be because someone took matters into their own hands, and he's dead and buried in the woods somewhere.

What a wild world we live in. Who needs television when you can read about the intrigues of failed liberal arts colleges.
