That's why he was on the university list till 2010.

If he were innocent, the school would have no reason to let him go.

CHAIR’S REPORT NO. 47
Agenda Item 11.a. – Tenured Faculty Appeal Matter
In accordance with Board of Trustees Regulations, Chair Strauss said, an attorney in the General Counsel„s Office, Deputy General Counsel for Employment and Labor Law Vickie Gillio, has been asked to provide an independent procedural review for the Board of a faculty dismissal matter. Ms Gillio has concluded that review with a determination that all requisite procedures have been handled appropriately by the University. Accordingly, I now ask for a motion to conclude that due to no prejudicial procedural error having been found, the Board of Trustees declines further consideration of the appeal of Dr. Qingwei Yao and that the dismissal from employment is implemented. Trustee Vella so moved, seconded by Trustee Boey. The motion was approved.
