Northwestern University Professor Suing For Defamation

(Evanston, IL) -- An Illinois professor accused of fondling a student is fighting back. Peter Ludlow was booted from the classroom earlier this year after students planned a sit-in on one of his lectures. He says leaving the classroom was a mutual decision that he made with school administrators, but they failed to mention that. He says that's given him a bad rap and now he's suing for defamation.
