PULLMAN — A Washington State University professor sued by a student alleging sexual harassment has resigned as part of an agreement that will provide legal representation and pay any judgment in the lawsuit.
Bernardo Gallegos, a professor of multicultural education since 2004, is accused of making advances toward a married graduate student in his home in February 2005.
In exchange for his resignation, he will be paid more than $87,000 to buy out his tenure, though he will lose some benefits. His salary was more than $132,000 a year.
The student, Christina Garcia, sued Gallegos and the university, saying her ability to get an education was damaged and that Gallegos wasn't adequately disciplined, although a university investigation concluded that he violated school policies.
Gallegos has maintained his innocence. He did not return a call for comment Friday.
