First the math whiz, now this?
Police continue to investigate an arson case at the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus involving a longtime professor of mathematics.
David Bleecker, 61, was arrested Thursday afternoon after allegedly setting fire to his office door in the Physical Science Building just after 2:30 p.m.
...Bleecker is a tenured professor who has been at U.H. Manoa for nearly 36 years. Although considered a brilliant mathematical mind, Bleecker was relieved of his teaching duties last semester after displaying odd behavior. University officials refused to specify what led to his suspension, citing privacy concerns.

Most professors I know would pay to be relieved of teaching duties.
