"As long as she was reporting to work, as long as she was doing her job' Holder was still fulfilling the requirements of her tenure contract, said Mary Morgan, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Board of Regents.

(2 of 2)But Morgan said Holder is expected to remain free, pending appeal of her conviction, which means she will likely remain on the state payroll. An MTSU spokesman declined comment on Holder's case, except to say that she had been moved to a non-teaching assignment last fall.
