An audit of Chicago State University by Illinois' auditor general has found that the embattled school improperly reported nearly $52 million in federal awards. State's Auditor General Frank Mautino says the university didn't properly prepare expenditure reports for two loan programs from the Department of Education. The reports are required by federal law, for federal awards of more than $51.7 million.
The auditor report says two awards from the Department of Health and Human Services related to a program for providing training and education to eligible individuals for health-care related professions were also improperly classified.
University officials say that the school properly reported the loan amounts within the footnotes of their report.
