Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel: Consultant urges UW screening changes

UW-Parkside fiasco brings scrutiny to vetting process

The move came after Robert Felner, who was supposed to take the reins at Parkside on July 1, resigned from that appointment in the midst of a federal probe involving his use of funds at the University of Louisvilleā€™s College of Education and Human Development.
