Six Howard University employees
were fired last year for "gross misconduct and neglect of duties"
following an independent auditor's investigation into misappropriation
of financial aid funds, according to a statement from the school's president, Wayne A.I. Frederick.
The firings took place in September, and were made public Wednesday in Frederick's statement.
According
to the statement, some university employees received two kinds of
benefits when they were only supposed to receive one. One kind of
benefit is tuition remission, which waives tuition costs for employees
who are enrolled in university classes. The other benefit was a
university grant. The two benefits together added up to more than the
cost of attendance, which resulted in the employees receiving improper
refunds.
