HARTFORD—House Republican Leader Vincent Candelora on Wednesday released the following statement in response to the arrest of a University of Connecticut faculty member accused of using school and grant funding for personal purposes:
"Accountability shouldn’t be optional. When a UConn faculty member
misused funds, the university recognized this wasn’t a small ball issue and took decisive action to engage law enforcement. Meanwhile, the CSCU system Board of Regents took a far weaker approach when its own chancellor misused taxpayer money, failing to even attempt to hold him to the same standard. Connecticut residents deserve consistency—if financial misconduct warrants criminal charges at UConn, a lot of students, parents and taxpayers will understandably ask why the response from the Board of Regents and Governor has been so lax?"
