After allegations of fraud surfaced against Wheeling Jesuit University and its employee J. Davitt McAteer, the university’s board of trustees has authorized the release of findings in an independent special counsel report that addressed its technology centers’ cost-allocation methods.
The recently filed federal court documents were filed by a NASA special agent alleging the university and McAteer fraudulently diverted federal funds to maintain non-federal aspects of the university and McAteer’s law firm.
“The university has always been, and always will be, completely transparent with regards to its cost-allocation methods of its technology centers,” said Wheeling Jesuit University President Rick Beyer. “Once the affidavit was reviewed, the Board of Trustees decided to release a report of an independent investigation regarding the issue, which was originally addressed by the university in 2008.”
