Local News in Brief : College Finances Probed

The financial affairs of the troubled student government at Los Angeles City College are being audited for possible irregularities and a report is expected to be finished next month, officials say.

College President Stelle Feuers said she asked auditors from the Los Angeles Community College District to look into the accounts of the Associated Students Organization, which has an annual budget of about $40,000. Asked whether the audit might lead to criminal charges for misappropriation, Feuers said: “I don’t think so. It’s less likely than likely.” Within the past year, two faculty advisers to the ASO were removed from that post and there was a failed attempt to remove the student president.
