UW-Eau Claire Fires Professor Who Didn’t Show Up (AP)

A Wisconsin board has fired a professor from Florida who mysteriously failed to show up to teach at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire last fall.

The UW System Board of Regents voted during a closed meeting last week to fire Philip Siegel. Details of the decision were made public Tuesday.

After a search, UW-Eau Claire hired Siegel as an assistant professor to teach financial accounting courses last fall.
