Overview
- Carter, in findings released Tuesday, was found to have sought jobs, access, staff help, funding, and outside backing for Krisanthe Vlachos.
- Employees denied Vlachos hiring and university funds, limited her access, and required payment for services through a WOSU Public Media contract.
- The report says Carter pressed state agencies, corporate partners, JobsOhio, and a national veterans group to support Vlachos’s ventures.
- Carter resigned in March after disclosing an “inappropriate relationship,” and senior adviser Chris Kabourek left April 13 after investigators said he enabled the efforts.
- Investigators conducted about 60 interviews and reviewed emails, texts, devices, and contracts, and the university recommends no further personnel actions as it reviews its controls.
