Turns out, UCSD may be more like Ancient Rome than we thought, and I’m not calling it a haven for anal sex either. A recent audit reveals that minimally 13% of emergency loans granted to UCSD employees between October 1, 2006 and September 30, 2007 were fraudulent.

According to 10News.com:

Applicants were unaware of any subterfuge, according to the audit, the newspaper reported.

The names of the UCSD employees accused of preparing fraudulent documents were not reported, and no criminal charges have been filed, according to the Union-Tribune.

 

One of them is a longtime representative with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union, and has been referred for "corrective action," the Union-Tribune reported.

The other was a registration supervisor, who was placed on a so-called investigatory leave last October and has since decided to retire, the newspaper reported.

"It's important to note that we caught this problem ourselves and took immediate and appropriate actions to investigate and conduct an audit," Sally Brainerd, UCSD's associate controller, told the Union-Tribune.

 

Fraudulent documents submitted with loan applications included denial letters for loans elsewhere and car repair estimates, the newspaper reported.

The school claims it ain’t no thang since they caught the fraud themselves. Okay so Momma ain’t raised no fools, but still it doesn’t really give anyone warm fuzzy feelings of community either. Then again, what does besides booze?
