SE SD | A national organization representing university faculty is questioning the apparent dismissal of Mike Catangui (kuh-TANG'-ee) as a tenured professor and Extension insect specialist at South Dakota State University.
The American Association of University Professors said it appears Catangui was let go without a hearing.
SDSU's president said he can't comment because it's a personnel issue.
Catangui said he's served South Dakota to the best of his ability for nearly 20 years but declined further comment.
Former SDSU Extension entomologist Ben Kantack says Catangui was unfairly targeted for refusing to go along with regional recommendations on when farmers should spray to control soybean aphids.
