Former Barton County president sues over firing and defamation
Weldon Law files suit against Barton County Community College and its Board of Trustees alleging unlawful termination for exposing work-study program problems. He seeks more than 75,000 dollars, claims breach of contract and defamation, and says no written notice or hearing was given. The suit names individual trustees Feldt Johnson Learned Maneth Murphy and official capacity for Webster. The case follows a wider scandal in which seven Barton County coaches and the athletic director faced charges over falsified work-study time cards, with Lance Brauman later convicted on five felony counts.
