The Oregon Government Ethics Commission has started a case on the former dean of the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication.
A representative of the OGEC confirmed with KLCC that a case has been opened against Juan-Carlos Molleda.
Because the preliminary review process is confidential, details may not be publicly available for several months, including why the case was opened, and who submitted the initiating complaint.
Molleda resigned from his position as dean in July, after the Daily Emerald reported on his questionable travel expenses, and while the school is facing a large budget deficit.
The UO is going through an internal audit of the former dean, as well.
