Payments to UM law dean 'worth every penny'
Your article "Ex-dean of UMB law is audit target" (Feb. 20) about an audit that labeled payments to former law school dean Karen Rothenberg as "questionable" is an unfortunate example of the adage "no good deed goes unpunished ." The University of Maryland, Baltimore is being criticized for payments that secured great value and were clearly in its best interests. I have some first-hand knowledge about this matter and cannot be silent while others are unfairly criticized.
