LSA senior Rob Abb, who took a judicial internship and several other classes with Greene, said he had heard rumors of Greene’s legal troubles, but did not give much weight to them because he was a University lecturer.

Abb, who said he nearly asked Greene for a letter of recommendation to aid in his law school application process, said he feels relieved that he didn't follow through with the request.

Dean said several students in Greene's class have expressed dissatisfaction because the switch to substitute professors also meant a switch to new course materials.

“We bought these books for class, and now we’re not going to use them anymore, and that’s $200 gone,” Dean said.

Some students also said the arrangement with three fill-in professors interrupted the continuity of the course.

LSA junior Rachel Goldstein, who is also enrolled in Greene’s course, said Greene's recent absences and repeated cancellations of class before his withdrawal hurt her learning experience.

“I don’t feel like students were keeping up with the course load,” she said. “We were not being held accountable.”
