{Kentucky}...Leaders at Sullivan University, a for-profit college which has its main campus in Louisville, asked employees during an August 3rd training session to contribute $25 each to Todd P'Pool, the challenger in the Kentucky Attorney General's race. Grover Potts, Jr., an attorney for Sullivan, says for-profit college officials believe Attorney General Jack Conway has unfairly targeted the schools in an investigation involving possible violations of state consumer laws. Kayla Porter, 28, who attended the event, said employees were asked to raise their hands to show that they intended to donate and she felt so pressured she decided to quit her job at Spencerian College, which is a division of Sullivan. Potts confirmed that contributions were sought from employees, but no one was coerced and no laws were broken. Chancellor A.R. Sullivan was helping host a fundraiser this week for P'Pool. Contributions to general election campaigns aren't due to be filed until October. But financial reports during the primary election show P'Pool's received $13,000 in contributions from Sullivan executives and their spouses. He also received several contributions from leaders of other for-profit colleges.
