UW’s Barrows back on leave

The University of Wisconsin-Madison put an embattled administrator on paid leave Thursday as officials investigate new allegations of misconduct.

UW-Madison Chancellor John Wiley said he had received new allegations against Paul Barrows during Barrows’ tenure as vice chancellor for student affairs. Wiley would not elaborate, but said the investigation will determine whether additional disciplinary action, including dismissal, would be warranted.
