He ran the program that made honestly simple clerical errors on literally nothing expenses in recruiting.

Essentially he was a fall guy for an underling. Misappropriating/unreported roughly $5500 in recruiting expenses.

Charges to his lacarte card were suspicious and flagged. Triggered an audit of purchases. Alcohol cannot be purchased with a state issued credit card. All purchases must be itemized for reconciliation. The alcohol and other items were listed as room rentals on the bank statement. Therefore someone falsified the invoice. Alcohol can be purchased through a foundation. A separate route that does not require the lacarte card. This was not a simple clerical error. He was able to resign but stay employed until the end of the fiscal year. Any other person would have been terminated. I’ve seen loyal employees with many years of service let go during the budget crisis. Most were give less than 24 hours notice. This guy got off easy. Those taking up for him are friends and have little understanding about the guidelines, requirements and reconciliation of charges to state issued charge cards. I saw him on the local news yesterday. A PR tour. The reporter asked no tough questions. Par for the course. The have done zero investigative reporting on the 50 million dollar budget deficit




Which is now a $3.6 million surplus. Kudos to Kolluru.

After a year of financial shortfalls and cuts, UL is entering the new fiscal year on July 1 with a $3.6 million surplus.

University President Ramesh Kolluru made the announcement June 25 at the UL System Board of Supervisors meeting.

The university entered the current fiscal year on July 1, 2025, with a $50 million deficit that included a $25 million structural deficit, he said, and $25 million in unpaid bills, and another $25 million in recurring bills pending.
