Herbert Fuchs was a former Communist spy who became a professor of law at the American University in Washington, D.C.

Initially Fuchs declined to name names to the House Committee on Un-American Activities, and then later recanted, explaining how he had been an active member of a Communist cell from 1934-1946. American University President Hurst Anderson fired Fuchs after he testified to the committee.[1]
