Northwestern says star journalism professor lied

The Chicago Tribune reports:
Northwestern University officials blasted a heralded journalism professor Wednesday, accusing him of doctoring records and repeatedly lying to his department's dean and the school's lawyers.

Star professor David Protess has been at odds with his university for months, but school officials launched their strongest offensive yet, saying his conduct could "undermine the integrity" of the university, its students and the news media.
