Hagmann was escorted off the Uniformed Services University campus in Maryland, and the college quickly offered students blood tests to determine if they had been exposed to any diseases, school President Charles Rice said. The college also launched an internal investigation into Hagmann's conduct, and it forwarded information to law enforcement authorities and the Virginia Board of Medicine, which revoked Hagmann's license last month.
