The University of Wisconsin system will pay $135,000 to settle a messy and much-publicized dispute with a black administrator who was ousted from his position on the system’s main campus following allegations of sexual harassment.
The university system’s Board of Regents agreed, as part of a settlement, to pay the administrator, Paul W. Barrows, $124,000 plus $11,000 in back pay and to remove a letter critical of him from his employment records. And Mr. Barrows, who was vice chancellor for student affairs at Madison, will drop a number of pending employment and racial-discrimination claims against university faculty members and administrators.
