An audit confirmed Patty Limerick used staff for personal matters during work time including planning a funeral for her first husband, paying two employees to plan her wedding and combining a board of directors meeting with her birthday party..
Patty Limerick, one of the University of Colorado Boulder’s most lauded professors and historian of the American West, was fired from her role as director of CU’s Center of the American West after an internal investigation determined the tenured academic made her staff uncomfortable by blurring the lines between her personal and professional life.
The audit said Limerick made a $3,367.17 donation to the Center 12 days after the funeral once she realized it was an improper use of staff’s time. Limerick called the firing “disturbing” in an interview with The Denver Post. She’s seeking legal options with Stan Garnett, the former district attorney for Colorado’s 20th Judicial District, as her representation.
“She would convene a group to look at difficult issues — oil and gas extraction as an example — and convene a neutral party conversation around that,” said Sam Mamet, former executive director of Colorado Municipal League and Center board member. “It’s a loss to the university and all those folks that have been participants with her efforts over the years. It’s disappointing, and I’m disappointed with the university.
