KSU staff regent fired after criticizing board
On the day before a piece featuring an interview with former Kentucky State University staff regent Chandee Felder criticizing the school’s board of regents was set to run in The State Journal, school administration fired her.
Felder, a former administrative assistant at the school, got a call from Human Resources Director Candice Raglin informing her of her termination from her position. Effective immediately, a letter from Raglin stated that Felder was fired due to an alleged violation of the school’s HR policy and ethics code as well as “gross misconduct.”
The letter does not say specifically what behaviors triggered her firing, but Felder indicated that it was likely connected to her criticism of the board of regents for its inaction on the school's financial issues.
The staff regent had warned several regents and conferred with some KSU staff about the school’s poor financial position before it became public when former president M. Christopher Brown II resigned on July 20, according to her testimony and documents she provided The State Journal.
