COLUMBUS, Ohio-The State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio will pay former executive director Bill Neville $1.65 million in compensation and benefits following his effective termination last week. Neville was placed on leave in November after an anonymous letter accused him of fostering a hostile work environment. An investigation by a Worthington law firm, appointed by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, found most allegations to be unfounded. Despite this, Neville remained on leave until the board’s recent decision to end his employment, effective December 1, with the agreement signed on Monday.
