Four University of Wisconsin System universities misspent a total of $239,000 in federal COVID-19 relief money, directing the cash to consultants, online maps and student entertainment, according to the Legislative Audit Bureau.
System administrators dispute some of the findings, however.
The report by the Legislature’s nonpartisan audit bureau found UW-La Crosse, UW-Superior, UW-Platteville and UW-Stevens Point all misspent federal relief funds in the 2021-22 fiscal year.
