As general counsel at the University of Florida, Jamie Keith may have altered and withheld requested public records and unlawfully used university funds to pay for outside legal counsel, an internal audit has found.
The report doesn’t reach a final conclusion on the majority of allegations against Keith because the investigative interviews ended when Keith resigned May 31. But the actions by Keith suggested by evidence “are not consistent with the expected role of the University Vice President and General Counsel, whose primary legal and ethical responsibility is to act in the best interests of the university at all times,” UF’s Chief Audit Executive Brian Mikell wrote in a 249-page report released Friday afternoon.
