Courier-Journal: Felner said he used grants to build up company
Ex-dean spoke to investigators
Former University of Louisville education dean Robert Felner told federal investigators last summer that he and an Illinois colleague used federal grant money to invest in properties around the country because they were trying to build up a nonprofit company that they had created for educational research, according to a 320-page transcript of the interview.
Felner and his colleague, Thomas Schroeder of Port Byron, Ill., both have pleaded not guilty to federal charges of mail fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering and defrauding the Internal Revenue Service.
