A former dean at Washington Post Co.’s Kaplan University unit was sentenced to one year and one day in prison for sending and posting Internet messages threatening the school and Kaplan Inc. Chief Executive Officer Andrew Rosen.
Bennie Wilcox was convicted by a federal jury in Chicago on six criminal counts last year. U.S. District Judge Blanche Manning, who sentenced Wilcox yesterday, didn’t impose a fine. The judge said Wilcox should report to prison on Sept. 16 and recommended a federal prison camp in Pensacola, Florida, on the request of the defense. Wilcox faced a maximum sentence of 18 years in prison.
