Interim Chancellor Ward receives second Fiedler report

Interim Chancellor David Ward received a second report Monday outlining an investigation of two additional misconduct allegations against senior associate athletic director John Chadima.

Retired Dane County Circuit Judge Patrick Fiedler, who conducted the first investigation, also led this review.

Chadima was placed on administrative leave and subsequently resigned in January.

Below is a brief statement from Ward outlining the process going forward.

“The university will publicly release the second report as soon as it legally permissible to do so.

“Because the allegations arise out of Mr. Chadima’s employment at the university, the university is legally obligated to provide a notification to him that the report will be publicly released.

“That notification, which took place today, is consistent with past university practice and provisions of the Wisconsin Public Records law, which provide Mr. Chadima with up to 10 days to file a court action objecting to the release of the report.”
