2 UF Administrators lose jobs over "Poor Judgement"

[ufgator812]

Wow....

 

[MidwestChomp]

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.

FSU and Baylor is that you?

Seems like one giant pissing contest. Huntley is a bulldog. You have to believe that there are skeletons in everyone's closet here. I'm sure there will be fallout on both sides.

 

[Chomper]

Throw away a cushy state job for a few minutes of jolly time? Idiot.

 

[LagoonGator68]

Jamie Keith will lose this pissing contest....

Yeah, I'm pretty surprised he didn't worm his way in there somehow.

You throw enough schit at the wall, eventually something sticks.

"His support for Keith is financial as well — her pay is now $386,000 a year plus perks, including a $9,000 annual car allowance."

That is an absurd amount of money for a govt lawyer, especially one whose resume says "I've been a govt lawyer my whole career." I don't think the White House counsel makes that. (Edit: WHC made 172k under Obama.)

I love how our AD and UF admin are tightwads with respect to everything BUT THEMSELVES.

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.

You know as well as I that Fuchs, (that dude needs to change his name) is involved in this intrigue up to his eyebrows. It's a real soap opera.

That's good money. I should be one of those lawyers. I would have been a great lawyer:). My brother's a lawyer and he hates lawyers AND judges. Do you have a law degree, Law?
