The Santa Barbara County Grand Jury investigated, and rejected some claims of corruption at a Central Coast college.
Santa
Barbara County Grand Jury says there is no evidence to back claims against
Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria.
A
new Santa Barbara County Grand jury report found there is no evidence
supporting allegations of financial corruption, and grade mismanagement at a
Central Coast college.
The
Grand Jury was asked to investigate charges at wrongdoing at Allan Hancock
College, in Santa Maria. A just-released report says there’s no evidence to
back claims of mismanagement of an emergency loan program for disadvantaged
students.
It
also found issues raised over the security of Hancock’s “College Now” grading
system were unfounded, and that the system is secure.
And,
the report rejected claims of improper personnel management.
The
report does call on the college to upgrade its financial management software to
improve transparency. It also suggests hiring an outside firm to survey faculty
and staff on how to improve communications with the administration.
