A [Central Connecticut State University] professor has been placed on administrative suspension, without pay.
Last week, Ravi Shankar was arrested for the third time this past year for stealing from a Home Depot. In December he was arrested twice–once for driving with a suspended license, and once for evading responsibility for an accident that he fled from. Both of those cases are still pending.
Before that he had previous convictions for two DUIs, operating with a suspended license, reckless driving over 85 mph, interfering with police, giving police false statements in a credit card fraud scheme and violating his probation. He served a 90-day sentence broken up into several periods.
The controversy came to a head when he was promoted to a full professorship while he was in jail serving time for his convictions.

If he’s fired, Ravi Shankar can always make money playing his sitar on street corners…
