Fargo, N.D. (AP) North Dakota University System officials have told two high-level employees that they will likely be fired.
University System Spokeswoman Linda Donlin said Wednesday that Chief Compliance Officer Kirsten Franzen and Chief Auditor Timothy Carlson have been placed on paid administrative leave. Both employees received termination notices on Monday.
Documents provided by the system office accuse Carlson of providing misleading information about his work experience and credentials. A memorandum to Franzen lists seven reasons for her termination notice, including failure to perform her job and unprofessional conduct.
The State Board of Higher Education will be asked next week to approve Carlson's firing. Franzen has until Monday to submit documents for a pre-termination review.
Carlson and Franzen could not be immediately reached for comment.
