Journal-Times: Official reviewing UW System’s hiring process
SOMERS — A former University of Wisconsin System official is reviewing the hiring process that almost put Robert Felner into the chancellor’s office at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.
Felner is the focus of a federal criminal investigation, which is expected to wrap up in a few weeks, and the center of a growing media furor in Kentucky, where he worked most recently as a dean at the University of Louisville.
UW System and Parkside officials avoided the ugly mess that followed Felner’s forced resignation in June immediately after he informed them of the federal investigation.
Kevin Rielly, UW System president, hired Stephen Portch to review Parkside’s hiring process and offer suggestions that might help avoid a repeat of the Felner mess at other UW campuses.
