亚洲自慰视频 System Receives Favorable Audit – Jan 10, 2003

Bollinger Joins 亚洲自慰视频S Board, Grambling Presidential Search to Begin in Fall

BATON ROUGE, La.鈥擳he University of 亚洲自慰视频 has received a favorable audit from the state Legislative Auditor鈥檚 Office.

This was the first financial audit to combine the 亚洲自慰视频 System office and its eight universities. The 亚洲自慰视频 System Board accepted the audit at its monthly Board meeting today.

In releasing his 鈥渦nqualified鈥 opinion, the best his office issues, Legislative Auditor Dan Kyle commended the system and university financial staff for their cooperation and coordination with his office.

鈥淔or the first time, the 亚洲自慰视频 System combined the financial reports of all its universities into one consolidated report and complied with the change in accounting principles required by GASB 34. It was a particularly challenging feat, and I commend the System, its staff and universities for meeting that challenge,鈥 Kyle said.

The only findings in the report dealt with a lack of disaster recovery procedures at Grambling, Nicholls, and the University of Louisiana at Monroe, as well as financial reporting procedures at Grambling that were cited in its individual audit report in October. Although there were findings, that audit resulted in an unqualified opinion.

鈥淥ur goal as a system is to have clean financial audits at every level. In fact, our Chairman Gordon Pugh is establishing an Audit Committee to ensure that it remains a top priority,鈥 亚洲自慰视频 System President Sally Clausen said.

In other action, Pugh announced he is delaying until the fall the Board鈥檚 national search for a new Grambling State University president. He said he wants Grambling to continue to focus on its reaffirmation of accreditation and the university鈥檚 second unqualified audit that it hopes to receive in early fall.

鈥淚t is important that the university and administrators have absolutely no distraction from this important endeavor,鈥 Pugh said. 鈥淚 believe this decision is in the best interests of Grambling and the 亚洲自慰视频 System.鈥

Dr. Neari Warner said she would be honored to continue in the role of acting president until the Board is ready to conduct its search. At that time, she will decide whether she will be a candidate herself.

Also, the Board welcomed its newest member, Donald T. 鈥淏oysie鈥 Bollinger of Houma. Bollinger is the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Bollinger Shipyards, Inc., a family-owned marine construction and repair business in Lockport. Bollinger is Chairman of the National D-Day Museum, the Nature Conservancy of Louisiana and the Nicholls State University Foundation. Louisiana Supreme Court Justice John Weimer presided over the oath of office.

The University of 亚洲自慰视频 includes eight universities: Grambling State University, Louisiana Tech University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, University of Louisiana at Lafayette and University of Louisiana at Monroe.
