2026年1月30日に公表された州立監査は,元大統領エリザベス・キャントウェルの下でユタ州立大学で広範な財政上の不正行為が認められた.その中には,10,000ドルからほぼ300,000ドルに急上昇した大統領官邸の改修,過度の旅行費,競争入札なしで不適切な契約賞等が含まれていた. A state audit released January 30, 2026, found widespread financial misconduct at Utah State University under former President Elizabeth Cantwell, including a presidential office renovation that soared from $10,000 to nearly $300,000, excessive travel expenses, and improper contract awards without competitive bidding. 報告書は,州法の繰り返し違反,弱度の高い監督,そして好意的文化,適切な審査なしに何百万ドルもの契約が授与されたことを挙げています. The report cited repeated violations of state law, weak oversight, and a culture of favoritism, with millions in contracts awarded without proper review. なお,大学は改修費用の全額を負担しており,国の資金は未納のままである. The university still owes the full renovation cost, and state funding remains withheld. ブラッド・モルテンセン新大統領は,事務に3ヶ月足らずで26件の監査勧告を受諾し,説明責任を回復し,生徒の奉仕に重点を置く改革を公約した. New President Brad Mortensen, in office less than three months, has accepted all 26 audit recommendations and pledged reforms to restore accountability and focus on student service.
