University of South Florida TAMPA, FL - AUGUST 22, 2002: (FILE PHOTO) The University of South Florida entrance is shown August 22, 2002 in Tampa, Florida. The school filed a lawsuit August 21, 2002 against tenured computer science professor Sami Al-Arian that would allow the university to fire him on charges of alleged ties to militant Islamic groups if a court rules that the termination would not be a violation of Al-Arian's constitutional rights. The Palestinian professor denied the charges and said that he would fight for his job. Federal agents arrested Al-Arian for alleged terrorist ties February 20, 2003 in Tampa, Florida, sealing his indictment until his court hearing. (Photo by Chris Livingston/Getty Images)
