From the Chronicle of Higher Education:
Fort Hays State University fired a professor and debate coach on Friday, just weeks after video surfaced on YouTube of his dropping his shorts in front of judges at a national tournament. The university also suspended its debate team, one of the best in the country, over concerns that the collegiate-debate circuit had become too uncivilized.
The coach, William Shanahan III, a professor of communication, got into a shouting match with a judge—and at one point briefly dropped his shorts and exposed his underwear—during the national tournament this past spring of the Cross Examination Debate Association.
Officials at Fort Hays State said they did not hear of the incident until video of it was posted on YouTube in early August and people began complaining to the university. The clip, which was replayed by local and national news media and has since been removed from YouTube, shows Mr. Shanahan swearing and gesturing violently with his head and hands before the mooning.
From the president of FHSU:
"Our concern is that debate has evolved into something other than an act that really supports our educational principles and values," said Mr. Hammond. He said that the university would still honor all scholarships given to its debaters but that no students would represent Fort Hays State at the debate association's tournaments this year.
