Boston Globe: UMass official demands inquiry
Amherst leader assails leaking of negative report

The UMass Amherst chancellor, who is probably facing termination after a negative evaluation report, is demanding an attorney general’s investigation into leaks from a university committee.

In a highly unusual three-page letter to the University of Massachusetts president, Robert Holub uses strong language to denounce the evaluation committee’s failure to keep its work confidential, according to two people who have seen the letter. In the letter, he argues that he has become a victim of a poisonous political atmosphere that plagues the university system.
