UNCG inappropriately hired a technology contractor who received $431,000 in state money over two years, according to a state audit.
A couple of things here: State auditors were alerted to the situation through a tip to the State Auditor’s Hotline. Second, the money was paid through student fee revenue.
Keep talking about the high cost of education, alright.
Update: I had a feeling UNCG chancellor Patricia Sullivan would explain dipping into when installation of the Banner system ran over budget:
Sullivan said that because the Banner system manages all the university’s financial operations, including billing and financial aid, the system does directly benefit students.
There you have it.
