Officials postpone Perkins' hearing
The ethics hearing for complaints against former athletics director Lew Perkins has been delayed until Jan. 25, 2011, according to Carol Williams, the director of the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission.
The commission granted a request for a continuance filed on Oct. 27 by Perkins' attorney, Stephen McAllister.
According to Williams, the request for the continuance states that Perkins will be out of the state because of a prior commitment on the scheduled date of
the public hearing, Nov. 16. Williams said the hearing dates are
determined
Perkins
determined without any regard toward the accused parties and the request for a continuance is not uncommon
The ethics commission is considering two complaints against Perkins during his time as athletics director. According to an Oct. 17 Kansan article regarding the complaints, the first complaint alleges that Perkins received free athletic equipment by Medical Outfitters in his home
in 2005 and that it remained until 2009. The article said the second complaint alleges that in 2005, Perkins requested and received free physical therapy sessions from employees of the University of Kansas Department of Sports Medicine, which is a violation of a state employee policy against accepting free services. Perkins could receive up to $15,000 in fines.
The article said the complaints were signed and notarized on Sept.7, the same day Perkins announced his retirement a year earlier than originally announced during a June press conference.
