Brookdale Community College Audited for Improper Spending

An audit report by the New Jersey state comptroller recently found that Brookdale Community College “improperly” spent about $790,000 by failing to follow federal and state laws and its own policies and procedures related to its spending.

The auditor questioned a number of the college’s transactions because the college lacked documentation and receipts or didn’t provide sufficient justification for expenses. The report also found that the college didn’t adhere to clear, consistent processes for keeping track of overtime work and health benefit opt-out waivers for employees, among other issues.

“When spending taxpayer funds, colleges have a duty to have and follow clear rules so the funds are protected,” acting state comptroller Kevin D. Walsh said in a press release. “Our audit of Brookdale Community College found inadequate systems that increase the risk of fraud, waste or abuse.”

For those of us who work on decentering whiteness in premodern fields such as classics, medieval/early modern studies, archaeology and in or on the Global South, this latest attack targeting a scholar of color exposed what many of us have been trying to draw attention to for years—that racism is deep and pernicious in the so-called liberal and woke academy. Rambaran-Olm was commissioned to review The Bright Ages: A New History of Medieval Europe ( HarperCollins ) for the Los Angeles Review of Books because of her expertise in early English medieval literature and history, and because she is one of the leading scholars challenging the

Consdierations for Another Uncertain Semester

Blog:  Just Visiting There are going to be a lot of sick people on college campuses in the fall. This is a pretty easy prediction because there are always a lot of sick people on college campuses given the very nature of the activities that happen on college campuses. I know I am not the only instructor to look out over a classroom and see lots of empty seats as students are felled by one virus or another.  I remember a particularly bad bout of mono that caught five students out of twenty in a single class and would’ve resulted in a passel of incompletes if I gave incompletes. (More on this in a moment.) While indications are that the coronavirus vaccines are holding up well against the Delta variant in preventing severe disease, hospitalization, and death, even vaccinated people are getting sick. It is beyond frustrating that a virus that could’ve been isolated and marginalized continues to thrive, but for now, as measured by the worst outcomes, we are collectively in a di
