Barrows fights back with lawsuit

Demoted University of Wisconsin-Madison administrator Paul Barrows has sued Chancellor John Wiley, claiming Wiley unfairly made him use his sick and vacation time and disciplined him without due process.

Barrows, who had been vice chancellor for student affairs, also sued the former dean of students, Luoluo Hong, claiming she interfered with his employment by providing “unverified,” false information that he sexually harassed a woman.

The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday in Dane County Circuit Court, also notes that Barrows turned down a $150,000-a-year job at Hunter College in April on a promise that Wiley would have him back as a special assistant.
