Audit finds more financial troubles at Chicago St.

The Illinois auditor general says his office’s latest look at Chicago State University found more than 40 problems.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Illinois auditor general says his office’s latest look at Chicago State University found more than 40 problems.

Auditor General William Holland tells the Chicago Tribune that the university didn’t send bills to its students for several months last spring. He calls it an "elemental responsibility" and a "problem" that it didn’t get done.

University president Wayne Watson says his team has been addressing fiscal concerns. He says they "haven’t caught everything," but are "working on it around the clock."

The audit also found misspent federal grants and misuse of purchasing cards. It found more than 40 problems. Last year it found 13 problems.

The university had an official response in the audit. It didn’t dispute findings.
