My wife went to University of Maryland, there was a professor that slapped a student. The professor did not get fired, just removed from teaching duties for 2 years. She got paid for the 2 years, and then went back to teaching, they just waited for the student to leave the school. The excuse the school gave was tenure as why they did not fire her. This was also back in the early 2k's, so current times it might have been different.

The reason for the slap was the b word from a student.
