President Benjamin Ladner's personal chef, whose salary was paid by the university, was laid off Thursday amidst the board's investigation of Ladner's spending, according to the Washington Post.
Sally Ekfelt, the secretary who coordinated the Ladner's social schedule, has also been transferred to the president's office to serve as an assistant to David Taylor, Ladner's chief of staff.
One source with knowledge of the investigation said the position of chef, held by Rodney Scruggs, was eliminated as "an unnecessary expense," the same reason Ekfelt was transferred to another job, the Post reported.
