UniversityA top administrator at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey has been fired, as federal authorities investigate the shredding of documents in his office and his relationship with a powerful state senator, according to reports today in the Courier-Post and The Star-Ledger, two New Jersey newspapers. Warren Wallace, senior associate dean for academic and student affairs at the institution’s School of Osteopathic Medicine, is the latest casualty of an ever-broadening investigation into financial mismanagement and possible criminal misconduct at the public health-sciences university, the largest of its kind in the United States. He was fired on Thursday, two weeks after the FBI raided his campus office to stop the destruction of internal files, seizing a computer and other documents. In April, R. Michael Gallagher, dean of the osteopathic school, was forced to resign after a federal monitor appointed to oversee the troubled university accused him of falsifying documents to increase his annual bonus and charging thousands of dollars of personal meal and entertainment expenses to the institution (The Chronicle, April 25). The university’s president and the chairwoman of the Board of Trustees also have stepped down under pressure (The Chronicle, January 24). The federal monitor is investigating state Sen. Wayne R. Bryant, a Democrat who steered millions of dollars in state funds to the university, where he was employed as government liaison. Mr. Wallace, who is also an elected county official known in New Jersey as a freeholder, is a political ally of Senator Bryant. Posted on Friday June 2, 2006 | Permalink |
