U. of Iowa, fondled ex-student settle APNewsBreak: U. of Iowa, fondled ex-student settle Feb 1 01:27 PM US/Eastern By RYAN J. FOLEY Associated Press IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - The University of Iowa has agreed to a financial settlement with a former student who was pressured to let a political science professor fondle her in exchange for a higher grade. The settlement allows the school to avoid a potentially embarrassing trial about its handling of sexual misconduct allegations against former professor Arthur Miller. He committed suicide in 2008 shortly after being charged with bribery for allegedly giving or offering to give four female students higher grades in exchange for sexual favors. The plaintiff claimed school officials failed to immediately act after she registered her complaint and that this allowed Miller to harass the other three women. Her attorney, Sara Riley, says the settlement requires the terms to remain secret but that her client is pleased with it.
