Duke's missing money
(08/23/02 4:00am)
The University has decided to repay the federal government nearly $700,000 after two employees embezzled federal grant money from the Center for Demographic Studies and its lead researcher, Kenneth Manton. The fact that the University lost track of so much money is inexcusable, and although the guilt surely lies with the two employees responsible for the theft, the lack of oversight of the Center for Demographic Studies by the University is also to blame.
