Courier-Journal: U of L’s Felner tried to get more funding, investigation reveals

According to e-mails obtained by The Courier-Journal in an open-records request, Felner sought in June to use money from a university endowment and an unrelated account — totaling as much as $170,000 — to help pay for research costs that were supposed to be covered by the $694,000 federal grant.
