Boise State professor pleads guilty to battery against student

A Boise State professor has been sentenced to one year of probation for
misdemeanor battery against a BSU student.

Professor Charles M. Odahl, who pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge,
was also given a 30 day suspended jail term and a $337.50 fine by judge
Theresea Gardunia in Ada County Court March 8.

The incident for which Odahl was convicted occurred Feb. 10 at around 2 p.m.
in the Library parking lot on campus. The Boise Police Department responded
to a report concerning a verbal argument between the 65-year-old Odahl and a
female student in her early 30s. The victim, whose name is being withheld,
is a resident of Eagle.

Odahl attempted to "knock a cigarette out of her hand, when he missed and
struck the victim on the left side of her body," Boise Police communications
director, Lynn Hightower said. Next, Odahl pushed the victim back using his
forearm in her upper chest and neck area.

Odahl faced maximum penalties of up to 3 months in county jail, a $1,000
fine, or a combination of a fine and imprisonment.

Sanctions from BSU could be issued for Odahl.

Odahl is a professor in the history department whose research specialty is
Cicero and the Late Republic, Early Christianity, and Constantine and Late
Antiquity. Odahl has both traveled and taught extensively in Europe and the
Mediterranean, and he holds both a bachelor's and master's degree from
California State University, Fresno. He holds a Ph.D degree in Greek, Roman,
and Medieval History from the University of California, San Diego.

Classes taught by Odahl at Boise State include Western Civilization, Ancient
Greece, Ancient Rome, Cicero and the Late Republic, and Latin, among others.
