Virus worries set ex-OLOL Foundation official free from prison
with Kelly P. Kissel | Metro editorThe long-awaited report on how LSU addresses sexual harassment and domestic violence complaints is out, and it's not pretty. Two high-ranking administrators have been suspended, and it was revealed that a former Tigers athletic director wanted football coach Les Miles fired for "inappropriate behavior" back in 2013. The former head of the Our Lady of the Lake Foundation is out of federal prison, but not free. Under provisions the federal government adopted amid the coronavirus pandemic, John Paul Funes is finishing his prison term at home. And fresh after being added to the vaccine-priority list, school employees in Pointe Coupee Parish have made the best of their eligibility. Local schools held a vaccination clinic yesterday, and Youssef Rddad was there. Look inside for more news, including more fallout from the LSU report.
