On Feb. 28, the University of Florida’s Office of Internal Audit received a letter from Huntley Johnson making allegations about General Counsel Jamie Lewis Keith. UF’s Chief Auditor began an internal investigation at that time, and as such, we are unable to discuss the specifics of the allegations.
The university, through its Office of Internal Audit, is committed to conducting a thorough and independent investigation.
UF and Ms. Keith agreed Wednesday she would take time off from work during the investigation to avoid even the appearance of a conflict.
Because of the ongoing investigation, we cannot discuss the matter further.

Huntley Johnson is not a man to be messed with lightly.
He literally got everyone in the Title IX office fired. Whoever replaces her will walk lightly around issues involving Johnson. If you oppose Johnson you better make sure you have all your affairs in order.
I'm not entirely sure if that is a good thing or not, but any player represented by Johnson has the best attorney they can get in Gainesville.

That goes way beyond poor judgment, I bet it was a violation of policy on many levels. Do your job and do it properly.

Johnson filed a complaint with UF’s Office of Internal Audit that contains information from public records that were provided to him. The documents include criticism of Keith’s legal abilities and management style and the hiring of a consultant to work with her to address the criticism.
Ironically, the UF audit office started a case on Keith in response to a November 2015 anonymous letter to the UF Board of Trustees critical of Keith that was signed “Concerned employees of the General Counsel” and to a February 2016 anonymous complaint to UF’s Ethics and Compliance Hotline that also was critical of Keith.
However, top UF leaders, including President Kent Fuchs, Chief of Staff Win Phillips and Chief Operating Officer Charles Lane, opted instead to hire consultant Herschel Kahn, a “colleague” of Trustee David Thomas, to coach Keith.
Lane, in an email with the subject heading “Anonymous Letter and Anonymous Hotline Call,” asked UF’s chief auditor, Brian Mikell, to “take appropriate steps to close out this case” based on the hiring of Kahn.
Keith had a role in writing Kahn’s retainer to meet with her and help develop a survey of her staff. Most of the responses were negative toward Keith.

Keith is the same one that hired her buddy that hadn't passed the FL bar yet and had her working I think. That whole thing seemed like something fishy was going on playing favorites. She comes off as one of those really hardcore lefty type lawyers. The Johnson stuff unless something good is in there doesn't look like that big of a deal however unless there are e-mails in there where they are purposely railroading Callaway which most of these colleges do now anyway with these complaints.

"And now Keith is tangling with Gainesville attorney Huntley Johnson, long known for his criminal defense of UF athletes. UF in late January authorized spending up to $12,000 to hire an attorney to provide legal advice on the ethics and professional conduct of Johnson’s office."
That does look bad. She should be fired for pushing that alone. Using tax dollars to try and apparently dig up bad stuff on a private attorney that made a complaint. She is one of those wacked out Title 9 crazies and probably didn't like the pushback they got in the Callaway case.

There must be some kind of mistake.
Everybody knows that all the evil people in the world work in the private sector while all public employees in the academic world are altruistic crusaders.
