Raymond Devaughn Taylor, 57, is accused of taking off his clothes during a class he was teaching, according to an arrest warrant obtained by the AJC.

The incident occurred on Nov. 30 between 4:35 and 4:45 p.m., the university police department states in the warrant.

A student in the class reported the incident to school officials Friday, Arlethia Perry-Johnson, vice president of external affairs for the university, told the AJC.

"We took this issue very seriously when the student complaint was registered," Perry-Johnson said Tuesday evening.

Taylor, of Kennesaw, was arrested Monday at the university and charged with public indecency, according to jail records. He was released from jail Tuesday afternoon after posting $5,000 bond.

Taylor declined to discuss the incident when a WSB radio reporter called him at home late Tuesday.

Taylor, who worked in the business department on a contract basis, taught an accounting class during the fall semester on Tuesdays and Thursdays, according to the class schedule posted on the university's website.

"He will not be teaching again at KSU," interim Provost Ken Harmon told the AJC.

Any other students with information regarding the incident are asked to contact campus police. The incident remains under investigation.
