Troy Liu pleaded guilty to taking tuition payments from Chinese research assistants whose tuition had been waived by the university.
An engineering professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has pleaded guilty to convincing foreign graduate students from China to pay tuition expenses to his company and pocketing the money, even though they owed no money to study at the school.
