Former U of I Chief of Staff Gets Teaching Job

The woman who resigned as University of Illinois President Michael Hogan's chief of staff over anonymous emails sent to faculty has accepted a teaching position at the school.

Lisa Troyer will take a job in the Department of Psychology that pays $109,000 a year. Campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler said Troyer should begin teaching this fall.

Troyer was a tenured member of the faculty while working as Hogan's chief of staff, but didn't teach and was paid only for the latter position. Her salary was $200,850 until she resigned in January.

Troyer has denied writing emails intended to sway faculty members skeptical about a new enrollment management plan favored by Hogan.

But an independent investigation concluded she was likely the author.
