Illuminator The University of New Orleans hired a professor in 2017 who had previously been arrested for a sex crime. He ended being accused of sexual harassment less than a year later.
In the spring of 2018, a student at the University of New Orleans told administrators biology professor Shawn Vincent asked her for sex in exchange for an A in his class.
UNO administrators suspended Vincent immediately, and days later, when the student turned over to university officials text messages and an audio recording of Vincent, UNO President John Nicklow fired him within hours.
