The problem with former University of Maryland School of Law Dean Karen Rothenberg can be (and should be) resolved quite simply ("The $410,000 question," Mar. 7). She should return the full $410,000 that was inappropriately given to her by the university. It does not matter how great a fundraiser she was, or how accomplished she was as a scholar, or how much money she could have earned at another job (see letters by Larry Gibson and Paul Bekman). What matters is that she lives up to the same high standards that are required of the law students and the faculty.

Karen H. Rothenberg, former dean of the University of Maryland School of Law, was the administrator who received $410,000 in what a state legislative audit called "questionable compensation payments," according to university payroll records. The routine audit of the University of Maryland, Baltimore says that in fiscal 2007, a high-ranking administrator received four payments totaling $350,000 for sabbatical time that was apparently never taken. The payments, approved by UMB President David Ramsay, came on top of a $360,000 salary.

WASHINGTON - An adviser to John McCain's campaign sums up 2008 this way: Republicans are "not going to elect dogcatchers, but we may have the presidency." Pity those Republicans running in the other election, the one in the shadow of the McCain-Barack Obama contest. Their party is in the grip of a full-fledged Bush depression, and there's no sign of turning a corner anytime soon. Deep and prolonged dissatisfaction with President Bush's performance has been amplified by pessimism about a sour national economy and high food and fuel prices.

UM law dean plans to return to the faculty Karen H. Rothenberg, the first female dean of the University of Maryland School of Law, announced yesterday that she will step down at the end of the next academic year and return to the faculty of the downtown school. "We're thriving, so it's a perfect time to say, 'Let's move into our next transition,' and it's a good time for me personally," said Rothenberg, 55, who became law dean in 2000, after a year as interim dean, and is now in her 26th year with the school.

Karen Rothenberg says that almost as soon as scientists realized that they could map the human genome, there was also a realization that there were ethical and legal issues involved. "Pretty early in the process, Congress started setting aside money to look at the ethical and social implications of the Human Genome Project," she says of the government agencies involved in the research over a decade ago. Now dean of the University of Maryland's School of Law, Rothenberg has made something of a specialty of the intersection of medicine, science and the law. She is the founding director of the school's Law and Health Care program and took a leave in 1995 to work at the National Institutes of Health in the Office of Research on Women's Health.
