UofL Continues the PR Campaign by Reporting Continuing Investigations of Everything Except Leadership

This from Biz First of The Ville:

U of L provides investigation updates

Officials with the University of Louisville provided updates on steps the school has taken in the wake of former College of Education and Human Development dean Robert Felner’s federal indictment on charges of money laundering, mail fraud and conspiracy to defraud the Internal Revenue Service...

• U of L officials said auditors have completed an internal audit of the College of Education and Human Development’s finances - due out after Thanksgiving.
• Auditors with Louisville CPA firm Cotton and Allen presented findings of an external audit of the university’s grants management and contracts practices earlier this month.
• Ramsey's campus-wide task force to review the findings and recommend action steps plans to meet again in December.
• A faculty senate review of the school’s faculty grievance policy is "under way."
• A separate U of L committee currently is reviewing U of L’s managerial and administrative practices, but the report will be given to Provost Shirley Willihganz (so it's safe to assume that neither the practices of her office or those above her are being investigated).
• Another committee is reviewing the university’s conflict of interest policy.
• And happily, the university also continues to investigate the university’s awarding of a Ph.D. to John Deasy, deputy director of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, during Felner’s tenure.

Over at Page One, Jake is raising the question of "any potential conflict of interest with the Cotton Allen firm."
