Megredy reassigned to TCS post

Former Registrar Jill Megredy remains employed at Emporia State, according to Human Resources.

In response to an Open Records request filed April 15 by The Bulletin, records custodian Judy Anderson confirmed that Megredy was still employed, but provided no details.

“Ms. Megredy is still employed at Emporia State University,” Anderson said in a letter.

Anderson also produced Megredy’s current employment contract, which ends June 14. According to the contract, Megredy was paid $53,146 in salary and was eligible for a merit bonus of $860.

Megredy had been registrar since fall 2006.

In an email dated April 11, the appointment of Elaine Henrie as interim registrar was announced. Henrie is the director of financial aid.

Jim Williams, vice president for strategic partnership and student life, declined to comment on Megredy’s current employment status. However, he said the national search to fill the registrar position would start soon.

“We will begin creating a job description that meets the needs of ESU,” Williams said. “I look for the search to begin shortly after this.”

Although the administration declined to reveal Megredy’s position, The Bulletin received a tip that she was working in Technology and Computing Services. A TCS employee who answered the phone yesterday confirmed that Megredy was working there, but did not know her title or position. She said Megredy was not immediately available, but would be in the office today.

leave the poor woman alone.
It's not like this article is attacking her.
Listing a state employee's salary in the newspaper is legal, but it's still kind of tacky. If anyone cares enough, they could have found it themselves.

An interim registrar is announced with no explanation. The administration is silent. It is unclear if the former registrar is still employed by the university or not. The newspaper seeks comment from said former registrar, with no response. The reporter files an FOIA request with the university to determine if said registrar is still employed. Reporter gets documents, writes story, includes salary. Salary is relevant because a) registrar left under unusual circumstance b) a search for a new registrar is expected to begin soon and c) registrar is a public official and holds an important university post. Seems to me the newspaper is doing its job and should be commended.
I've heard the National Enquirer use the same excuses.

There is nothing newsworthy or earth-shaking about this story at all. But the campus rag decides to play investigative reporter, hoping to uncover some great gossip. Then they wonder why they have no credibility outside a handful of folks on the staff and a few wannabe revolutionaries on campus.

For God's sake, people -- grow up. There just aren't that many jobs available at the Enquirer or the Star, and someday soon you may have to do some legitimate news work. It's time to stop giggline and playing gotcha and start learning a trade.
Not only do you reveal your ignorance, you revel in it. A change in the job assignment of an important university official is news, not gossip. And if The Bulletin has no credibility, why do you take the time to attack it? Did the story hit a nerve? Of course, it's easy to post anonymous comments. Much harder is to do real reporting and have the guts to put your name on it. My hat's off to the newspaper staff.
