Lawmaker critical of UW hiring

Incoming UW-Parkside chancellor Robert Felner has stepped down amidst a federal probe at old current college in which he’s accused of mishandling a half million dollars in federal grant money. Robert Felner was supposed to start at the Kenosha campus July first. But last Saturday, media reports surfaced about a probe at Louisville’s College of Education and Human Development, where Felner was the dean since 2003. He told the UW about it the next day.
