Dr. Williams is a very brilliant, talented man. Could you hold down two full-time jobs, one from 8am-5pm and the other from 8am-4:30pm?

I think not, sir.
Former Lafayette City-Parish Councilman Chris Williams making accusations after auditors release their report on the Lafayette Housing Authority.
Williams was accused of double-dipping because he held a full-time job at UL and was contracted to work full time with HUD's Disaster Housing Assistance Program.
Williams, through the LTCDC, was initially hired at a rate of $16.08 per hour working 80 hours bi-weekly for a $1,286 paycheck every two weeks plus a $300 car allowance. The contract was renewed in December of that year to extend until March 31, 2010, increasing Williams’ hourly take to $30 and his bi-weekly paycheck to $3,260 — this while Williams was working a full-time job in the Special Services Department at UL Lafayette.
Williams’ herculean work load — simultaneous “full-time” jobs — was brought to light as a result of an independent audit on the LHA, an audit that led state and federal officials to investigate DHAP. In August of 2010, as the LHA saga spiralled out of control — its top executives would soon resign their positions amid intense federal scrutiny and unflattering media coverage — the agency terminated DHAP and canned Williams.
Accusations have surfaced that former Lafayette Parish councilman Dr. Christopher Williams has ripped off the community by "double dipping" with multiple government-funded jobs.
At issue, alleged time conflicts between his full-time job at the University of Louisiana and contracts that his non-profit agency, The Lafayette Training Career Development Center has with the Lafayette Housing Authority (LHA) and the SMILE Community Action Agency.
"You can't do three jobs in the same time frame from 8 to 5, you can't do it, it's virtually impossible," said State Representative Rickey Hardy, D-Lafayette, who contacted the state's legislative auditor about the issue. "[Williams] got paid, and the community got played."
He wants to finish what he started at UL. TJ will be demoted to a position once held by Raymond Blanco.
