re: Audit reveals numerous issues at Uhigh

The Legislative Auditors report looks like they were given a raise for “extracurricular activities” oversight then went back to LSU for more $$ for the aftercare and LSU said no. They then opened up their own LLC and the parents were paying UHigh for aftercare. Looks like some folks at LSU got ticked and LSU did their own audit and found issues.

Audit Report

It starts on page 7.

Do you think it was them Social Justice Warriors (SJW) that turned in the school?

They’ve got real bullying issues they need to take care of also.

They probably should be dealing with middle school bullying. I was sick when I heard what happened.

For the uninformed, what happened?

What’s the problem with the daycare? Peoples kids were watched in exchange for money and everyone got paid what they were owed. Nobody stole anything.

This is the bigger deal IMO. Using the facility and faculty to generate money on an asset and operation that belongs to taxpayers. That part is jacked up.

People invest their own real dollars into daycare operations to generate profit. This example is theft, plain and simple. They absolutely stole, and I’m offended.

But it is so convenient that the kids aftercare is at the school. Parents don’t have to haul kids somewhere after school or worse, let them be at home unsupervised getting into god knows what kind of trouble. These people were only thinking of the students and their parents. Bless them.

Bro, I get it. school plus a daycare... these are everywhere.

The problem is that the money is generated off assets and operations that belong to the taxpayers. They were collecting the money in their business accounts from resources that didn’t belong to them. That’s theft.

Oh It just looked like they were taking a reasonable administrative fee then giving the rest to the school. This would have let them get paid in a timely fashion and saved the school from having to cut checks.

I admit not knowing the details, but using the school’s operating costs and assets to generate personal wealth is stealing. It could be less severe with details, but I believe it was stated that customer/parent credit card revenue went to their business accounts. That tells that they controlled the revenue stream and not just some management fee.

Ii don’t know man, unless they personally funded and signed personal guarantees on liabilities for capital costs and salaries/opex, etc, to me it’s theft.

The annual trip to DC is Not a school sponsored, nor mandatory trip. Parents pay for the trip and insurance through the travel agency. The Administrator gives his personal time to help give that experience. Whatever travel agency gives him shouldn’t be a school issue?

Yeh if it’s not school sponsored or mandatory I don’t really care about the travel agency kickbacks. That’s life and that’s business influence. Personally think it’s a tad unethical and in bad taste to not negotiate a better for the school group travel at the sacrifice for taking the personal kickbacks. It’s classless, but not the end of the world.
