Corrinne Hess:

The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s vice chancellor for diversity, equity and inclusion has been removed from his position after an internal review found “concerns about financial operations and fiscal judgements,” according to the school. 

LaVar Charleston has led the Division of Diversity, Equity and Educational Achievement for three years. 

He will leave his role as vice chancellor and return to his backup appointment as clinical professor in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis in the School of Education.

Per public records, the guy who was just bounced as UW-Madison Chief Diversity Officer made over $308,000 a year! That’s not a typo! $308,000! Tony Evers makes $165,000. A Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice makes $185,000. Something is way out of whack. govsalaries.com/charleston-lav…
