Professor Fired After Dead Student Found In Townhouse

Professor Michael Todd has been fired by the Maricopa County Community College. This was probably not too surprising. Professors are sometime fired for failing to attend classes, plagiarism, or chronically poor classroom performance. In Todd’s case, it was the dead student found in his home.

As previously noted, here, the 51-year-old Paradise Valley Community College psychology professor had been having an affair with 19-year-old Andria Ziegler. Due to this “inappropriate relationship,” the school terminated Todd. Chancellor Rufus Glasper noted the school’s prohibition on “amorous relationships.”

    I was a student of Dr. Mike Todd at PVCC, I took my Psy 101 together w/ my English 072 and College reading back in 2002. I couldnt believe it when I saw him on the news and was a suspect for this young girl’s death. Dr Todd was a really good professor and made that semester fun for all of us in his class. I feel bad for what happened, and my heart goes to the Zieglar family. I hope and pray that the truth will come out and that justice is going to be serve.
