Frank Ellis Russian and Slavonic studies lecturer Frank Ellis has taken early retirement from the University of Leeds. He left on June 30.
Dr Ellis was suspended on March 23 following remarks made in interviews which the University considered unacceptably racist.
Dr Ellis, 53, retired on the same standard terms available to his colleagues. However, in bringing forward the retirement a year sooner than Dr Ellis wanted, the University agreed to pay him a year's salary and to make a contribution towards his legal costs.
