By Joseph Lyell —

U of L President Neeli Bendapudi said she was disappointed to hear the Forbes report of John Schnatter used the N-word in a conference call with Papa John’s executives and a marketing agency.

“Disappointment for everybody concerned, disappointment for us, disappointment for him,” Bendapudi said.

Schnatter resigned from U of L’s board of trustees less than 12 hours after the report. Bendapudi said the university is evaluating its relationship with Papa John’s, including possibly renaming Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.
