Utah tech-college president is placed on leave after audit

I think the state auditor should also look into the financial doings once again at SLCC Custom Fit Training program. This program paid monies to only 6 trainers in a years period of time, their funding was over 400K. They are to spend the state allocated money on a yearly basis and always have a carry over. I feel that if this program was to be looked at closely they would find most ATC's and SLCC have a major problem. They state should be very concerned.

How about Snow College in Ephriam. Employees get fired, but no upper managment or internal control accountability there. Big problems for a new president to deal with.

I agree with you Eddy. Just go to ksl and read the comments of those that know. Just where is the accountability of controler for Snow College. 3 times in less than five years. Come on Board of Regants, you can put a college president on adminisrative leave, but turn your head on whats happening in Ephraim. You need to put another person on leave....without pay. Or maybe his Stake calling assures him of his job. No accountability. Its great when you steal from the State.

Rob Brems is the salt of the Earth. I hope that he will be vindicated in this matter...most unfortunate situation...

Seems to me that you ought to wait until the dust settles. Even good men make mistakes and the endowment thing is a little off no matter what. The other thing is-what happens at Snow, SLCC, or any other place does not really matter unless you are trying to justify the action in this case. I worked next to Rob for several years...does this surprise me...maybe a little bit...been trying to figure out what he did to EARN the big bonus of over 100,000 and I am sorry but that is a first with anyone in the system who got promoted within the same system. Think about it...if it were me and I did nothing wrong then I would not resign, I would fight to the bitter end to protect my "good" name.
