Top Ramsey supporter leaving UofL Foundation board

In his one-page resignation letter, Dr. Bob Hughes said it became "increasingly difficult" for him to watch the work of Ramsey and his top aides "attacked and halted to the detriment of the university," The Courier-Journal (http://cjky.it/2dqfB6y) reported.

[...] he added he had seen "many loyal donors and supporters being attacked publicly and privately" for supporting Ramsey's "remarkable team that brought so many successes" to the university.

Under the threat of being sued by the board of trustees, the foundation took several steps, including removing two officers and agreeing to hire an outside firm to conduct a forensic audit.
