The sexual harassment allegations that started a cascade of events culminating in Mark Hurd's resignation as CEO of Hewlett-Packard Co. continue to impact Hurd's career. This week, Rupert Murdock's News Corp., which owns the Wall Street Journal, Fox Broadcasting and other media companies, revealed that it has decided not to nominate Hurd for re-election to its board of directors.

The revelation came in a regulatory filing released August 31. Hurd has been a member of News Corp.'s board of directors since 2008 and has served on its nominating and corporate governance committee. His term will expire October 15.

"After discussions between the Company and Mark Hurd, it was determined that he would not be considered for re-election to the board at the company's 2010 annual meeting," News Corp. said in a statement.

Earlier this month, Hurd resigned as chairman and CEO of Hewlett-Packard after a company inquiry into a sexual harassment claim against Hurd allegedly found inaccurate expense reports that appeared to conceal a personal relationship between Hurd and the former marketing contractor who made the claim.

The investigation determined that Hurd did not violate HP's sexual harassment policy. However, it found that he did violate the company's standards of business conduct.

News Corp.'s is the only board of directors Hurd has served on besides HP's. He was invited to join the board of News Corp. to provide technology experience that would help position the company for growth online, according to Murdoch's statements at the time. As a member of the nominating and corporate governance committee, Hurd was tasked with reviewing the qualifications of potential board members and evaluate the performance of existing members.

Hurd was paid a total of $231,000 for his serve on News Corp.'s board in the fiscal year ending June 30, some of that in stock. According to Bloomberg, Hurd still owns a substantial amount of News Corp. stock, some of it not yet vested.

According to the regulatory filing, no one has yet been nominated to replace Hurd on News Corp.'s board. HP has named CFO Cathie Lesjak as interim CEO while it searches for a replacement for Hurd.
