"SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. (AP) -- Joseph J. Ellis, the Pulitzer Prize-winning history professor who admitted lying to his students about serving in Vietnam will be suspended for one year without pay and will give up his endowed chair at Mount Holyoke College, the school announced Friday.

"I strongly rebuke professor Ellis for his lie about his military experience," President Joanne Creighton said.

"The year away should give him and the college time for reflection and repair," she said. "This sanction is consistent with our honor code for students and its emphasis on education, reflection and ultimately restoration to an honorable place in our community."

Ellis, 57, became a popular professor at Mount Holyoke in part by sharing his experiences in Vietnam. In June, The Boston Globe reported that Ellis never went overseas."
