Junior said today the 14-month investigation into Bishop State
Community College is nearly completed.
Tyson said the probe of current Bishop State employees is over,
but his office is still looking into former workers at the college.
The investigation has resulted in 26 employees - including the
school's financial aid director - and their relatives being charged
with theft for allegedly obtaining more than $200,000 in federal
aid fraudulently.
Two-year college system Chancellor Bradley Byrne, Bishop State
interim President James Lowe and Tyson held a joint news conference
yesterday to talk about progress made at the college.
Bryne said an accounting firm has completed an assessment of
Bishop State's financial operations and controls and will release
its report next month.
The two year college is trying to revamp several programs and
its image.
Bishop State has hired a Mobile-based firm to put together a
campaign publicizing and building community support for the
college's planned upgrades and changes.
