Florida State University research professor of criminology Eric Stewart has been fired following a full investigation into ongoing, questionable research allegations from the past four years.
The decision was effective Thursday, July 13, and stated in a five-page termination letter to Stewart from FSU’s Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs James Clark, firing Stewart from the position he held since 2007.
