Will reimburse the Northern Arizona University Foundation for the difference between coach and business-class tickets involving trip to Russia
In a January 14 article by Rachel Leingang of the Arizona Republic it was reported that Northern Arizona University President Rita Cheng will personally pay back some of the money highlighted by auditors involving a trip to Russia.
Cheng told Ms. Leingang that the trip benefitted the university in several ways. However, she said that she “felt like this needs to get behind us. I need to take responsibility for the lack of documentation pertaining to the ticketing of my travel, and I’ll be repaying the foundation for the cost of difference between the business and coach travel.”
