Political science professor Kevin Unter has moved out of his office and has not been assigned a new one, administration officials confirmed last week.

Unter has been on leave since about two weeks before the semester began and was replaced as department head by College of Arts and Sciences Dean Jeff Cass.

When asked by email if Unter had been assigned a new office, Cass responded “he has not” and referred to public relations for further questions.

Laura Woodard, director of media relations, said that Unter is not expected back on campus during his leave.

Various administration officials have responded with “no comment” after repeated questioning into the nature of Unter’s leave and why he vacated his office.

As first reported in The Hawk ye, local attorney Bob Noel was brought in by the University to teach Unter’s class just one week before the fall semester began, a move that surprised many of the students who scheduled to take the class.

Unter is also no longer writing his column for the Monroe News Star, according to editor Kathy Spurlock.

Unter has not responded to multiple attempts by The Hawkeye to contact him.
