UW Oshkosh Foundation Files For Bankruptcy
The U-W Oshkosh Foundation has filed for bankruptcy after two former campus officials were sued for promising backup tax funds for five foundation building projects. The private foundation plans to use its Chapter Eleven bankruptcy status to reorganize, and chairman Tim Mulloy says it would protect the school’s endowment fund while the group reorganizes its finances. Former Chancellor Richard Wells and former business officer Tom Sonnleitner were sued in January for allegedly guaranteeing tax funds for the foundation’s bank loans on its five building projects.
