University of Louisville dental professor Michael H. Martin was found dead in his office hours after he was interviewed by university police for allegedly misusing a university credit card.
Michael H. Martin's credit card was for large grant
The credit card was for a $353,875 grant that Martin directed that was funded by the National Institutes of Health, according to university records.
Hebert said Friday that two of the Kentucky's School of Dentistry employees — Joan Scott, the unit business manager, and Gary Dryden, the assistant dean for finance — were suspended without pay in connection with that investigation.
Scott was suspended for three days, and Dryden for five, Hebert said, but he described both as "good employees."
