Ga. Tech professor under investigation over prostitution scandal
By Korea HeraldPublished : June 13, 2012 - 10:11
A prominent Georgia Tech professor has found himself amid a sex scandal after a suggestive e-mail he wrote was revealed to the public, WSB-TV reported Monday.
In the e-mail about a trip to Thailand, Professor Michael Meyer made a specific reference to the Nana hotel situated next to Bangkok’s red light district, saying “I want to tell you the sex trade is unbelievable. Gorgeous women to stay the night with you for $30 to $40.”
Georgia Tech’s legal office has requested an investigation into the issue, saying that the school holds its employees to the highest standards.
Meyer is reported to have been paid a large salary, last recorded at $216,721. He spent close to $100,000 on travel expenses in the past four years, records show.
Meyer, a former chairman of Georgia Tech’s civil engineering department, specialized in urban transportation, but retired before the audit was completed.
He denies any violation of the law or university policy.
