Dr. Anming Hu, previously accused of wire fraud and making false statements, has been offered reinstatement as a UT professor, according to the Associated Press, citing a letter authored by UT Provost and Senior Vice Chancellor John Zomchick. Per the letter, Hu has been offered a tenured engineering position, back pay, and reimbursement payments related to an immigration attorney.A total of $200,000 was also offered to reestablish his nanotechnology research. The award would be dispersed over a three-year period. Hu was arrested in February 2020, and was stripped of his professorship after FBI agent Sadiku showed UT officials a PowerPoint slide that claimed Hu was an operative for the Chinese military. A mistrial was ultimately called in the case, and Hu was acquitted last month.

Former UT Professor Offered Job Back After Being Cleared of Inappropriate Ties With Beijing
03:54 GMT 17.10.2021 (Updated: 13:25 GMT 06.08.2022) Back in June, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent Kujtim Sadiku admitted under oath that he falsely accused Dr. Anming Hu, a former associate professor at the University of Tennessee (UT) at Knoxville, of being a spy for the Chinese military.
Dr. Anming Hu, previously accused of wire fraud and making false statements, has been offered reinstatement as a UT professor,
according to the Associated Press, citing a letter authored by UT Provost and Senior Vice Chancellor John Zomchick.
Per the letter, Hu has been offered a tenured engineering position, back pay, and reimbursement payments related to an immigration attorney.
A total of $200,000 was also offered to reestablish his nanotechnology research. The award would be dispersed over a three-year period.
Hu was arrested in February 2020, and was stripped of his professorship after FBI agent Sadiku showed UT officials a PowerPoint slide that claimed Hu was an operative for the Chinese military.
The agent testified in June that, based on a summary of his translations and reports, "no, Hu wasn't involved in the Chinese military." Sadiku also admitted to not doubling back to inform UT officials of his error.
A mistrial was ultimately called in the case, and Hu was acquitted last month.
