A former Whitman professor arrested last April for bringing his gun to campus has had one of the charges against him dismissed and was given a one-year conditional discharge for the other.

Chung Chen, 60, was a professor of managerial statistics in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management. He was arrested on the charges of criminal possession of a weapon on school grounds and reckless endangerment in the second degree.

On Sept. 10, a city court judge gave Chen a one-year conditional discharge — meaning he cannot get in trouble with law enforcement for the next year — for the criminal possession of a weapon charge and dismissed the reckless endangerment charge.

A handgun discovered in Eggers Hall last April was licensed to Chen under a New York state sportsmans’ permit. He told police he intended to use it at the firing range after work. Although the gun was legally registered, it is a felony for anyone other than a law enforcement officer to bring a gun to a college campus.

Kevin Quinn, senior vice president for public affairs, said in an email that Chen is no longer employed at SU.
