Texas Tech officials are refusing to comment about why a professor at the university's health science center recently lost his endowed chair, but KCBD -- a local television station -- has been running a series of stories about an apparent incident involving showing pornography to students. The first reports indicated that the professor, Rod Hicks, was out of town and so was instructing students via a video hook-up. When class was over, he didn't disconnect, and the students then saw pornography streaming from his computer. The latest reports indicate that the instruction was taped, and that the tape may have gone straight from his instruction to his non-curricular video. Hicks isn't responding to questions from KCBD or Inside Higher Ed. A university spokeswoman said that Texas Tech could not comment on the situation because it is a personnel matter.
