Gooden, who became chair in November, said the board decided in 2017 to make ethics a part of Caret’s annual job performance review, after it learned of the email he sent. In the Aug. 8, 2017, email to three university presidents, Caret said he was writing “on behalf” of an alumnus, the CEO of Pandora Jewelry. When Doyle asked Caret about it, he emailed back that he had sent the message from his Gmail account. Doyle filed the grievance the next day, and in November 2017, Doyle agreed to a settlement, signed by Caret. “I believe that the regents were told about the Chancellor’s possible ethics violation, but I don’t know if they knew about the Chancellor’s retaliatory actions against me and the subsequent settlement,” Doyle said in a statement.
