… picture? Two specters and four forensically indistinguishable white males?
But Arkansas State University Mountain Home has deeper, uh, institutional presentation problems than this.
I mean, let’s just say that ASUMH really doesn’t want to be audited.
But – whoops. A disgruntled ex-employee went ahead and talked to the authorities and ASUMH got audited. What have them boys been up to?
Well now, take this John Gresham. His position at ASUMH is Husband of the Director of Development. In that capacity, he got to build – no bids were taken – “the Thompson-Martin Gate and McClure Gate at the college for a total cost of $218,623.” Plus his wife – her position at ASUMH is Wife of the Owner of GRR Land Company LLC – uses the time and resources of ASUMH to run his business:
Four personal file documents found on an Office of Development laptop related to her husband’s business. They included a loan document, a steel building proposal, a steel building purchase order and a flyer for commercial marketing, according to the report. A fifth personal document, a rental property advertising narrative, was found on a stand-alone computer assigned to Gresham.
What’s a university for, anyway? The money and the equipment are just sitting there.
And then there’s them magic pens the Wife of the Owner bought.
