\nThe University of Kentucky fired the former equine testing lab director over ethics and policy violations related to misconduct and mismanagement of the lab.<\/p>\n
Thursday, the university said in a news release Scott Stanley was removed as a tenured faculty member of the university.<\/p>\n
His firing comes after a yearlong internal audit discovered a test commissioned by the Horseracing Integrity and Welfare Unit (HIWU) was never performed, but Stanley reported test results.<\/p>\n
The findings from the investigation also uncovered other test results may have been compromised because of Stanley.<\/p>\n
Investigators said Stanley chose not to disclose external work, violating university rules. The Board of Trustees charged Stanley with the following violations:<\/p>\n
Failure to perform duties: Misrepresentation, falsification of test results and fraudulent billing
\nFailure to perform duties and\/or incompetence: Lack of internal controls (to prevent tampering and manipulation of data) and lack of oversight of EACL operations
\nFailure to perform duties and\/or incompetence: Conflicts of interest\/commitment and improper hiring practices<\/p>\n
Stanley waived his right to a hearing, and the Board of Trustees held a special session Thursday, voting to end his tenure and terminate him as a university employee.
