The University of New Orleans used an illegal contract to fulfill a public works project, had about $3,500 in cash stolen from the Athletic Department and failed to follow proper payroll protocol for some employees, according to findings of a state audit released last week.
The audit, which reviewed the university’s actions during the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2022, was standard for UNO, which is part of the University of Louisiana System that includes nine higher education institutions across the state.
