Highlights From the Open Forum, Part II

From the reporting of the Central Florida Future:

Broadcast journalism major Jen Whalen was filming the forum for UCF Knightly News. She stepped out from behind her camera to challenge the president to defend UCF's 2007 audit, specifically the findings that UCF overpaid one professor by $100,000, charged international students a $50 fee and loaned money to the Athletics Association without proper approval or a plan for repayment.

Hitt acknowledged overpaying the professor, calling it a bad and embarrassing error made by personnel within the university. As soon as it was detected, he said, the university created a plan for repayment, which is already in progress.
