An internal review found that the University of Maine system violated its own policies in a recent failed presidential search at the University of Maine at Augusta, Maine Public Radio reported.
System chancellor Dannel Malloy ordered the review after it was revealed that he and the chair of the search committee had withheld information from the committee, namely, that Michael Laliberte, the candidate for the UMA presidency, had been the subject of two no-confidence votes at his previous job.
Laliberte withdrew his candidacy, but only after faculty at several campuses voted no confidence in Malloy.
