Inside Higher Ed:
A messy and high-level personnel dispute at Coastal Carolina University is playing out in public because various documents in a normally confidential grievance process are being mailed to reporters and others, The Sun News reported. Among the charges: Richard Weldon, who was fired as vice president of finance, says that his warnings about possible financial wrongdoing have been ignored and he was dismissed for reporting his concerns to trustees. He also says that the university has much more money than it wants legislators to know about and is trying to give the impression that it is worse off to get more state funds. University officials have denied wrongdoing and defended Weldon’s dismissal as appropriate.
