"Students lose in alleged money-skimming scheme at NCCU Coleman, the director of the NCCU Historically Minority Colleges and Universities Consortium, allegedly siphoned more than $1 million into a secret bank account, withdrawing thousands of dollars at ATMs, writing herself checks and even shopping at clothing, jewelry and makeup stores, according to a state audit released last month. The investigation also indicates former NCCU provost Beverly Washington Jones received almost $62,000 from the account, even though she told auditors she didn't recall providing any services to the program outside her duties as provost. (Lawyers for both Coleman and Jones declined the Indy's requests for interviews.) But as chatter about the report circulates in the NCCU community and beyond, Thomas and other parents say they weren't surprised to hear the accusations. "I knew it would come out eventually that things weren't right," said Cynthia McEachin, a Durham teacher who also enrolled her son in AAMLA."

This is so sad to me. Money meant to help students with limited opportunities used so some chick can go on a shopping spree

by the way, "scheme" is giving too much credit to the process of taking money from an account that's not yours...it's not exactly a scheme...just poor financial controls...not a magical "scheme" here....just taking stuff that's not yours

7/14/2011 9:49:37 PM

Yeah pretty sure that's just straight up theft

I wonder if they'll even face charges. They should just like anyone else that steals.

7/15/2011 10:43:23 AM

well, they probably felt entitled to it and i guess there were others that must have felt that way and protected nan coleman. I just don't see how someone blowing all the money on shopping managed to steal that much and go undetected for so long without more professional help.

Yeah the Indy is usually good about doing their homework on their main stories. It's kind of sad I find them much more informative than the N&O.

Oh I totally agree. Something tells me as this gets investigated there's going to be more people that fall.

The latest on the scandal:

Quote :

"Two months after a state audit alleged she siphoned $1 million from a program at N.C. Central University, Nan Coleman has yet to face criminal or civil charges. Meanwhile, public records obtained by the Independent Weekly show that the money Coleman is accused of skimming amounts to nearly 40 percent of $2.5 million in revenue from a federally funded tutoring program that she oversaw. From the structure of the programs, it appears that the money Coleman is accused of pocketing was profit from the tutoring program that should have stayed in the consortium's coffers. Instead, the audit found Coleman allegedly used money from her clandestine account to pay for personal items and services, and withdrew large amounts of cash. The audit also shows that former NCCU Provost Beverly Washington Jones and her private company received $62,000 without providing any services to students.. Meanwhile, Jones is running an education consulting business, Academic Enrichment Services and Systems (AESS) that is providing the same after-school tutoring services available to students at underperforming schools who qualify under federal law. "

So glad our taxpayer dollars are paying for these two women to have a fancy wardrobe. I can't believe Jones is allowed to stay in business
