BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- The Southern University Board of Supervisors Friday decided to end their fights with two employees, agreeing to settle out of court. The board decided to pay Greg LaFleur, the university’s former athletic director $150,000, roughly half of what was left on his contract. Southern fired LaFleur in April 2011 after he allegedly solicited prostitution from an undercover police officer Houston. LaFleur was in Texas attending the NCAA Final Four tournament to recruit for Southern’s basketball team when he was arrested.
LaFleur, however, was found not guilty in Jan. 2012, and sued Southern for the remaining salary left on his contract. The university and LaFleur were scheduled to bring the case to the 19th Judicial Court in Baton Rouge on Jan. 22.
