By Shelby Brown–
The U of L Foundation has fired administrative officer Kathleen Smith, who had been on paid leave following the resignation last fall of former President James Ramsey. Chief Operating Officer Keith Sherman confirmed Smith’s contract was terminated, saying he had no further comment.
During the forensic investigation committee meeting today, Smith went unmentioned. But Smith’s lawyer, Ann Oldfather, wrote the foundation board stopped Smith’s salary and benefits effective June 22.
Oldfather lashed out at the directors in a statement, blaming them for sexism, breach of contract and scapegoating.
