Courier-Journal: Former University of Louisville dean Robert Felner set to be sentenced Monday
Robert Felner, former University of Louisville dean of education, is expected to be sentenced on Monday, almost two years after federal and local law enforcement authorities raided his college as part of a wide-ranging fraud investigation that involved two universities and multiple states.
Felner pleaded guilty in January to nine federal charges, including income tax evasion, and agreed to serve 63 months in prison in connection with defrauding UofL and the University of Rhode Island of $2.3million.
As part of the plea agreement, Felner agreed to pay restitution of $510,000 to UofL, $1.64million to the University of Rhode Island and $88,750 to the Rock Island County Council on Addiction in Illinois. Additionally, he agreed to forfeit property to the federal government that he owns in Florida and Illinois, as well as bank accounts containing undisclosed amounts.
