UW acts to fire two professors, still pays one

UW-Madison on Thursday moved to fire two professors recently convicted of felonies but said one of them – registered sex offender Lewis Keith Cohen – will continue receiving his $73,000 salary until any appeals he might make of the university decision are resolved.
The other professor, Steven Clark, was convicted of felony stalking and began serving a one-year jail sentence on June 23. Clark will be on unpaid leave until all of his internal appeals are finished.
