have the best sex life at home. Sex is a very powerful motive, I don't need to tell any of you here.

used his University email account

OK, so you go to Yahoo, open a free account, and email away to your heart's content on the taxpayer's dime. That one simple mistake cost him near a million dollars, not to mention his reputation.

In our university teachers' union, we are scrupulous about never communicating one thing, not a single thing, about contracts, negotiations, or anything regarding union business on the school's email service. We do that because we know the administration can snoop on us at any time. What an advantage they would have if they knew what we were thinking about contract negotiations.
