A university-commissioned investigation released Thursday finds fault on both sides in the case of UW-Madison administrator Paul Barrows’ seven- month personal leave, blaming Barrows and UW-Madison Chancellor John Wiley.
The report faults Barrows, the former vice chancellor of student affairs, for inappropriate conduct toward two campus women, including a student who worked for him. Barrows denies those charges but agrees he had an unrelated consensual relationship with a 40-year-old graduate student that led to his demotion by Wiley and subsequent leave in November 2004.
