BOULDER — The University of Colorado is dropping its bid to fire David Barnett after reaching a $210,000 settlement deal Tuesday that includes the embattled philosophy professor’s resignation.
CU last summer initiated a rare termination proceeding against Barnett over allegations he retaliated against a female student who said she was sexually assaulted by a male student.
Barnett, an associate professor in the philosophy department on the Boulder campus, has been on paid leave this academic year. His resignation is effective May 31.
He will receive $160,000, and his attorney, Brian Moore, will receive $50,000 from the university. CU is also forgiving an $80,000 down payment assistance loan for Barnett, according to both sides.
