James Ramsey

The University of Louisville released an email Tuesday evening containing new details on the erasure of former president James Ramsey’s computer hard drive.

School officials have largely ignored a state law meant to guarantee transparency in contracting, sidestepped cost guidelines and shifted control to an outside firm in order to shield details of the examination.

The University of Louisville asks its staff to disclose potential conflicts of interest, but it’s no secret the disclosures haven’t always been scrutinized.

Is this a battle of semantics, or a substantive difference?

Fallout from the scathing audit of the University of Louisville Foundation started to take hold Friday, while attorneys for two top former school executives pushed back against the allegations.

A forensic audit of the University of Louisville Foundation painted a "disturbing picture" of excessive, secret spending on investments, real estate and compensation to staffers.

A long-awaited forensic audit may provide some clarity Thursday afternoon in the University of Louisville’s quest to untangle its nonprofit’s web of financial dealings.

The big booster is embroiled in a public spat with the university and its athletics department. Last year Papa John quietly pulled $1.5 million from a longstanding pledge to the athletic association, which first learned of the deal this week via KyCIR.

The latest revelations come amid the foundation’s harried efforts to examine how much money was spent or promised by the previous regime.

Though David Dunn left the University of Louisville earlier this month under the cloud of an FBI investigation, his boss offered him a positive reference letter along with a $1.15 million buyout, according to the settlement agreement obtained by KyCIR.
