Supreme Court of Iowa December 22, 1999, 97-1177 (Simonson v. Iowa State University)

McGIVERIN, Chief Justice.

The main question here is whether a tenured state university professor has a constitutional right to an evidentiary hearing before the university can place him on paid administrative leave pending an investigation of student sexual harassment complaints against him.

The university appeals a district court decision requiring it to hold such a hearing.
