Courier-Journal: University of Rhode Island says feds focusing on Felner
University of Rhode Island officials said today that an internal review and a federal investigation have not uncovered any criminal activity by current university employees connected with former University of Louisville education dean Robert Felner.
Federal investigators have “indicated to us that their focus is on Mr. Felner,” said Robert Weygand, vice president for administration at the University of Rhode Island. “… They have indicated that as of this date and as of this time no one here at this university is currently the focus of any criminal investigation.”
Felner — who is the focus of a federal investigation into the alleged misappropriation of grant money — worked at the Rhode Island university from 1996 until 2003, when he became the dean of U of L’s College of Education and Human Development.
