The University of North Carolina has reached a settlement in the lawsuit from learning specialist Mary Willingham, who resigned last year after her public statements about academic improprieties at the school resulted in a tense meeting with Chancellor Carol Folt.

Willingham said she was berated at that hourlong April meeting.

In July, Willingham sued the university, and asked the Board of Governors for reinstatement.

The terms of the settlement have not been announced. UNC has said the settlement does not include reinstatement.

Here is Monday’s statement from UNC, attributed to Rick White, Associate Vice Chancellor of Communications and Public Affairs:

“The University has reached a settlement with Mrs. Willingham that resolves all of the outstanding legal issues in the case. We appreciate the efforts of the mediator to help us achieve a successful and timely conclusion to the mediation. We believe the settlement is in the best interest of the University and allows us to move forward and fully focus on other important issues. The settlement is pending review and final action by Judge Boyle.””
