Winston DeCuir Jr., vice president for legal affairs and general counsel, resigned on Wednesday, according a letter addressed to the chair of the LSU Board of Supervisors, Scott Ballard.
"It has been an honor to serve in this role at my alma mater for the past five years," his two-sentence resignation letter said.
DeCuir did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.
Though he is stepping down as a lawyer for the university, DeCuir was appointed to a visiting professor position in the law school at a faculty meeting last week.
The shake-up comes as the university is being sued by law professor Ken Levy over a teaching suspension imposed by LSU this month.
According to a letter addressed to Levy from LSU's human resources, Levy was suspended "pending an investigation into student complaints of inappropriate statements made."
Levy filed suit over the suspension Tuesday, arguing the school violated his free speech and due process rights. A judge on Thursday issued a temporary restraining order requiring LSU to allow him to return to the classroom.

I don't know anything about why he was asked to resign but I've know Winston for about 20 years. In my dealings with him he has always been a first class individual and probably the smartest lawyer in the room each time.

I dont know the scoop but all I can tell you is that I went to Law School with Winston and likewise, was always (and is) a stand up guy.

Same for me. Winston is one of my closest friends. Whatever is going on, Winston is on the side of morality and ethics.

Levy is in hot water for spewing anti Trump rhetoric in class. There have been conflicting reports on here as to how inflammatory it was. There is a difference between stating your political opinion and having it be academically threatening to your students.
