… UD reported – merely reported, mind you – on the director of the University of California at Davis Campus Violence Prevention Program. My post on the subject is long gone, but it linked to an article about her probably having “inflated the number of forcible sex offenses that took place on campus in 2005, 2006 and 2007 in reports required by federal law.” As in at least doubled them. In a 1999 grant application, she said around 700 women on that campus had been attacked sexually that year.
UD well remembers the shit that got thrown at her from some of her readers for passing along the story’s claim that the woman had made up hundreds of assaults. The claim was a politically motivated attack on Jennifer Beeman, and on women generally…
Beeman – who got her ass out of Davis as soon as the university realized what she was doing with the numbers – has now been arrested for embezzlement.
… Beeman embezzled between $2,000 and $13,000 by asking for travel reimbursements and mileage to attend meetings that didn’t occur…
UC Davis returned more than $100,000 to the U.S. Department of Justice after determining that unallowable expenses had been charged to a violence prevention grant Beeman administered, the university announced Thursday…
… Beeman will be arraigned on Jan. 7 on one count of embezzlement of public funds by a public official, three counts of misuse of funds by a public official, four counts of false accounting, and one count of fraudulently altering an account. All the charges carry potential jail terms.

She’s obviously qualified for the higher administrative ranks, now.

[…] about this at the time — except for the local paper and a few bloggers. I mean, sure, seven hundred women … Sounds about right […]
