Why doesn’t anyone at the University of Louisville want to answer questions?
I hear that there’s a problem with the Equine Trust Fund grant currently administered by the UofL School of Business.
Allegedly, some fraud has been wrought resulting in an investigation and termination of a Program Coordinator. Sources at UofL allege off-the-record that as much as $100,000 has been mismanaged and suggest an internal investigation is taking place right now.
But someone needs to start talking on-the-record and they need to give me some solid answers. I have a new respect for UofL and don’t want this to be a new Felner scandal – if, in deed, something nefarious is going on. Playing coy only forces me to enlist the assistance of others – both press folks and elected officials – to find out what the heck is going on.

“Shadowy Campus Currents of Electricity”
Prof. Chips: “What’s this rumor about a problem with the Equine grant in the Business School?”
UofL honcho: “I’ve not heard a word, but I suspect it’s a bunch of anonymous crap.”
Prof. Chips: “Right–like in the Felner case.”

“Miscellaneous Costs in Higher Education”
Prof. Chips: “I’ve heard the suspicious grant amounts to $100,000.”
UofL honcho: “Chicken feed, then. Felner’s was over a million. Who in the hell will waste time checking on $100,000?”
Prof. Chips: “Heck, my department chair won’t give me travel to Murray.”

Sounds like the system is working. Someone got caught and fired. The only thing missing is the public exposure of the individual and the babble that always follows.

But you know I want sit on my hands for long.

“What Happened to the Money?’
Charlie, can you answer that? Or need we wait for further investigation?

if they stole money, then that is a FELONY, and being fired shouldn’t be the only thing that happens. An indictment should follow
If in their official capacity they acted inapproprately with the money, then they should charged with official misconduct.
Jake, I would be that UofL PD has their fraud detective on it. And he is very very very good.

I think I’ve seen enough Saabs & BMWs & home remodeling to guess where the money went… Hope she gets indicted.
