A controversy has broken out over University of Minnesota president Joan Gabel’s role on a corporate board.
A complaint has been filed with state and federal agencies against Gabel’s work on the board of Securian Financial by a regent, a law professor and the former governor Arne Carlson, according to WIZM News.
They say the work raises questions because the university pays $4.6 million to the company to cover employees’ life insurance.

Securian spokesperson Jeff Bakken said Gabel’s position as president wasn’t a factor in her board appointment.
