CARBONDALE — An ethics inquiry into the hiring of Southern Illinois University Carbondale Chancellor Carlo Montemagno’s daughter and son-in-law has been passed from the university’s internal ethics office to the state inspector general, according to the SIU president.
On Thursday, SIU President Randy Dunn opened up two inquiries into hires related to the chancellor. One investigation involves the hiring of Melissa and Jeffrey Germain, Montemagno’s daughter and son-in-law, as part of negotiations of the chancellor’s employment. The other involves Montemagno’s reported recommendation of former colleagues to multiple campus positions.
“Our system Office of Internal Audit, Compliance and Ethics, in reviewing its standards and talking with the state agency, has made a determination that they just need to go ahead and give that inquiry on the family members directly to the Office of Inspector General,” System President Randy Dunn said during an interview with The Southern on Friday in the Stone Center.
