On August 28, 2014, Aguillard was honored as president emeritus at the weekly chapel service for his ten-year commitment to Louisiana College. Leon M. Hyatt, Jr., a former LC trustee and friend of Aguillard's, told the audience: "I want to say probably Dr. Aguillard is the most criticized president the college has ever had. Why? Because, like Jesus, he told it like it is." Hyatt attributed much of the criticism of Aguillard to the former president's defense of biblical principles rejected in the secular world. Hyatt noted Aguillard's belief in the inerrancy of Scripture, an issue which went to court regarding a dispute with several former LC professors. The particular matter ultimately ended in Aguillard's favor in a decision by the Louisiana Supreme Court. Hyatt did not mention the controversies of 2013 and 2014 that led to Aguillard's departure from the helm of LC.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thetowntalk.com/story/news/local/2014/08/28/aguillards-recognition-ceremony-receives-mixed-reviews/14776503/|title=Aguillard's recognition ceremony receives|author=Leigh Guidry|date=August 28, 2014|publisher=''The Alexandria Daily Town Talk''|accessdate=August 29, 2014}}</ref>

Though Aguillard remained president-emeritus and a faculty member after he left the LC presidency, he was terminated from both positions in the spring of 2016 following an evaluation. In September 2016, Aguillard filed suit in the 9th Judicial District Court in Alexandria to seek damages for "civil conspiracy" involving breach of contract, [[assault]] and battery, and emotional distress. The defendants include Louisiana College, Aguillard's permanent presidential successor [[Rick Brewer|Richard Bennett "Rick" Brewer, Jr., private investigator Don Benton Connor, Sr., and the insurance underwriting firm RSUI Indemnity Company.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thetowntalk.com/story/news/local/education/2016/09/28/former-president-aguillard-suing-louisiana-college/91229024/|title=Former LC president alleges threats, conspiracy|author=Leigh Guidry|publisher=''The Alexandria Daily Town Talk''|date=September 30, 2016|accessdate=January 18, 2017}}</ref>
