Inquiry Finds No Financial Wrongdoing by Cal State-Stanislaus Foundation
A state investigation of fund-raising practices of the California State University-Stanislaus Foundation, begun amid the controversy over what the nonprofit organization was paying to bring Sarah Palin to a campus event, found some accounting problems but no criminal wrongdoing, The Modesto Bee reported. "We examined whether money given to a charitable foundation was handled appropriately, but found no violation of law," Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. said in a written statement on Friday, adding: "However, the foundation board has agreed to make changes to improve oversight of its funds." The financial investigation did not explore whether the university broke the state's public-records law. A separate investigation of that question has been suspended pending the outcome of a lawsuit, Mr. Brown said.
