Journal-Sentinel: Independent consultant to review UW-Parkside chancellor screening process
Chosen candidate resigns amid investigation at former school
Posted: July 1, 2008
The University of Wisconsin System will hire an independent consultant to review the search-and-screen process used to choose their top pick to lead UW-Parkside — a man who resigned from the post last week in the midst of a federal investigation involving his use of funds at his college in Louisville.
Robert Felner, who was supposed to start at Parkside on Tuesday, declined the job last week because he is at the center of an investigation into allegations that he may have mishandled $500,000 in federal grant money as dean of the University of Louisville’s College of Education and Human Development. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Western District of Kentucky is conducting the investigation along with the University of Louisville, the U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Postal Service.
