UNC FUNDRAISER QUITS HIS UNETHICAL SIDE-JOB: Routh, 61, had been working for New Republic Partners for roughly two months, according to a letter the firm shared with “shareholders, clients and friends” dated May 3. That was a day before a UNC human resources director had signed a university document noting that she had reviewed Routh’s proposal to do the outside work. New Republic’s letter said Routh would serve as an independent consultant and senior advisor “available to talk with successful families and individuals, as well as endowments and foundations, about the investment management solutions, wealth advisory offerings and concierge financial services.” It was a more expansive role than what Routh described in his written proposal to UNC officials when disclosing his plans for outside work.
