A former law dean at the University of Maryland at Baltimore, Karen H. Rothenberg, received $410,000 in what a state legislative audit this week described as “questionable compensation” for unused sabbatical time and research stipends, The Baltimore Sun reported today, citing university records. The audit did not identify the official, and neither did the university. Her identity was disclosed by a state lawmaker who predicted that university officials would face tough questions at coming hearings. Ms. Rothenberg, who received the payments on top of a base salary of more than $371,000, has since stepped down as dean and returned to the faculty. She did not respond to the Sun’s requests for comment.
