RENO, Nev. (AP) -- A University of Nevada, Reno professor who complained about improper hiring practices and animal abuse at campus research farms has been fired and banned from university property.

"I was fired ... and escorted from my office by campus police as if I were a criminal," Hussein S. Hussein told the Reno Gazette-Journal for a story first reported Monday on the newspaper's Web site.

An internationally recognized animal nutritionist, Hussein said he was informed Friday of UNR President Milton Glick's decision and told to turn in the key to his office at the agriculture college.

Hussein said his dismissal was retaliation for his blowing the whistle on improper activities at UNR and he said he would fight it in court.
