Head of UMDNJ’s Camden Campus Suspended
June 14, 2007
A top official at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey’s Camden campus has been suspended.
The action comes amid a federal investigation into possible financial wrongdoing.
Anna Farneski, a UMDNJ spokeswoman, confirmed to The Star-Ledger of Newark that 59-year-old Paul Mehne, an associate dean for academic and student affairs at the university, was relieved of his duties last week.
But she declined further comment yesterday.
And Mehne won’t discuss the matter.
The office of the federal monitor overseeing the university has said there was an ongoing investigation into “alleged wrongdoing” at the Camden campus.
And Mehne is among several high-ranking UMDNJ officials whose actions have come under scrutiny.
