MILWAUKEE (AP) – Four former University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee administrators earned more than $600,000 total for one-year leaves the school granted after they resigned, a newspaper reported.
The university granted the leaves to three deans and a provost over the past four years, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, which reviewed copies of settlement agreements provided by the college.
The UW Board of Regents already is investigating university employment agreements, administrative leaves and backup tenured faculty jobs, which are built into administrators’ contracts in case they lose their primary positions.
