Former LC President Alleges Threats, Conspiracy

Joe Aguillard is suing the private Baptist college he led for nine years along with its current president, a private investigator allegedly hired to "conspire" against Aguillard and an insurance company, according to documents filed Tuesday in Rapides Parish. Aguillard's tumultuous presidency of Louisiana College in Pineville ended in 2014 after two attempts to oust him from the leadership position. But he stayed connected to the school as "president emeritus" and a tenured faculty member until he was stripped of the honorary title April 12 by the LC Board of Trustees.
