Louisville U of L grant is a focus of federal inquiry A federal investigation into whether federal funds were mishandled includes a grant managed by former University of Louisville education dean Robert Felner. The Courier-Journal in Louisville reported Friday that documents it obtained under an open-records request showed the $694,000 grant's purpose was to fund a project between the state education department and local school districts to help schools meet federal testing goals. But former Kentucky Education Secretary Virginia Fox told the newspaper she had never heard of an advisory committee that was supposed to help with the project, even though documents list her as the chairwoman. Jefferson County schools' accountability director Robert Rodesky said he met regularly with Felner, but never talked about such a project and said he didn't know what it was.
