The University of Montana has parted ways with a business professor after he was charged with criminal endangerment.
Court documents allege that 61-year-old Anthony Richard Pawlisz pulled a gun on another man after a fight outside a bar in Florence on Aug. 17.
According to court documents, witnesses said Pawlisz went to his vehicle, got a handgun, fired a shot into the air, and then pointed it at another man.
Pawlisz was removed from teaching following the incident.
His former class is continuing under Professor Udo Fluck.
"The University cannot discuss private matters concerning University employees. The class will continue this semester with an experienced instructor, who will ensure all learning objectives are met," UM spokesman Dave Kuntz said in a statement to MTN.
