For instance, at the time of the President hiring of the chief operating officer, hewas on probation in Georgia for a criminal offense ofDUI (marijuana/alcohol).

Note: Dr. Andrew Hugine hired his Omega Psi Phi fraternity brother Kevin Rolle withoutfollowing the Employment Procedures. It is most likely Hugine violated therecruitment and screening procedures because KRolle, at time of hisemployment was on probation for a Federal Criminal Offense and would not havemade the cut of the top 3 candidates pursuant to the Employment and RecruitmentPolicy 3.8.6 (See Background Check Form of Alabama A & M University not used).

Other irregularities relate to all of the top Vice President positions have been filledwith Dr. Hugine's Omega Psi Phi fraternity brothers.

There is the case this week of a librarian assistant of 12 years with excellent annualevaluation being terminated because the library petty cash was short $8.80. Theconcern is that the same person sent to conduct the audit will probably be hired toreplaced the librarian assistant (see attached and applicability of Corrective ActionForm that was not used in this case).

Employees on campus are in a fearful state because of the harrassment many havereceived when questioning the actions of the new President and his executivestaff. Besides all of this, the President of the Board of Trustees, OdessyusLanier is an Omega Psi Phi fraternity brother of Dr. Hugine, as well as severalother members of the Board of Trustees, and are not enforcing the Employmentand Recruitment Procedures.

Governor Bentley has stated that the Trustees at A&M should work there problemout but A & M needs the same attention as Auburn or University of Alabama toensure a campus operation that the taxpayers of Alabama can be proud of.

Attorney John C. Taylor

Huntsville, AL 35810

Re: Kevin Rolle/Case No. 04132011

On 13 April, 2011, HEllnvestigations & Security, Inc. was contacted by John Taylor, Attorney at law in

reference to a case concerning Kevin A. Rolle the Vice President of Alabama A&M University. Mr. Taylor

hired HEllnvestigations to perform a background investigation to see if Kevin Rolle had a verifiable

social security number and a criminal record to match the social security number and the alleged pled to

the charge of Drunken Driving and Marijuana in the state of Georgia. (Case Summary See Exhibit 1,2,3 )

After conducting an initial investigation, I, W.T. Hayes, recovered the following material regarding the

alleged arrest of Kevin A. Rolle at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia; the Kevin Rolle that matched this social

security number (262-55-0876) was arrested for unlawfully operating a motor vehicle with an alcohol

concentration of 0.08 or more by weight of alcohol in his blood within 3 hours of operating the motorvehicle in violation of Title 18 ofthe United States Code, Sections 7 and 13 per Case No. 5:09-MJ-02-03-

CWH. The Kevin Rolle was assigned Todd l. Smith as a probation officer and was defended by Charles E.

Jones. (See Exhibit 3)

On 18 April, 2011, I, Investigator W.T, Hayes, contacted Special Assistant U.S. Attorney of the Middle

District of Georgia, Elise l. Jones, Prosecuting Attorney. I advised Special Assistant Jones that I have been

retained to conduct an identity background check on Kevin A. Rolle who is currently the Vice President

at Alabama A&M University (AAMU) who has stated that his identity was stolen and he was not the

person that pled guilty to the charge Driving Under the Influence of alcohol and marijuana on 12

December, 2008, at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia located within the Macon Division of the Middle

District of Georgia. (See Exhibit 5,6,7) Special Assistant U.S. Jones stated that she had the charge and a

photo copied South Carolina driver's license of the Kevin A. Rolle that was arrested on Case No. 5:09-MJ-

02-03 (CWH) in front of her. She also stated that the Kevin A. Rolle that she prosecuted was a black male

and a very big guy. Special Assistant U. S. Attorney Jones stated that the same Kevin A. Rolle has a son

that has cancer and he asked the judge for leniency to travel to South Carolina, therefore she believes

that the Kevin A. Rolle that was prosecuted and the Kevin A. Rolle that we are attempting to identify is

HEllnvestigations & Security, Inc. 256-759-1902, E-Mail: [email protected]

Page 9: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

the same person. (See Exhibit 4) She stated that she would gladly forward me a copy of the charge and

the photo copy of the driver's license once she has the approval from her superiors. I then emailed a

picture of the Kevin A. Rolle that we are trying to identify, to Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Jones.

On April, 19 2011, I Spoke with Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Elise L. Jones who stated that she

received the photo that was forwarded to her of Kevin A. Rolle and it appeared to match the photo on

the South Carolina drive's license of Kevin A. Rolle that she has. I have concluded that this same Kevin A

Rolle is currently employed as the Vice President of Alabama A&M University and resides at 116 Gerald

Jackson Ct. Madison, AI 35757 Date of birth September s" 1961 height about 6'5 weight 280 Alabama

Subject: Request for assistance and inquiry.

Senator Sanford:

I was pleased to talk with you at Representative Laura Hall's town hall meeting in regardto my employment situation at Alabama A&M University. It is my understanding thatDr. Dorothy Huston has also discussed my situation with you.

The whole process has been flawed from the beginning and based on unsubstantiatedallegations. This action by the university has caused me undue hardship, emotional andphysical distress.

Ihave done nothing to warrant this action by the university. Ihave forwarded my appealto Dr. Andrew Hugiene, Jr., President of the University. This is my last appeal within thegrievance policy and procedures at the university. My next alternative if I'm denied isthe court system which will be very costly.

I've enclosed all documents generated by the university administrators and I addressingthis recommended dismissal action.

I would appreciate an official inquiry from your office into my situation and anyadditional assistance that you can provide to me.

Please feel free to call for any additional information that you may need from me. I canbe reached at (256) 489-7311 or (256) - 424-5479.

Subject: Appeal of Dr Newkirk decision to uphold Mr. Bush's decision on Grievancefiled by Veronica Acklin-Bell.

Reference letter from Dr. VaIUlNewkirk, Subject: Upholding Nancy Vaughn's decisionto uphold Mr. Bush's decision to terminate my employment, February 28, 201l.

Mr. President:

As my last source of appeal within the university's system for employee grievanceprocedures in accordance with Section 8.6 of the Alabama A&M University StaffHandbook adopted by the board of Trustees on October 28, 1993, I 'rn hopeful that thisnightmare situation can come to a halt by you.

I would never have imagined that I would be treated so unfairly and callously by all theadministrators in the three levels of appeal prior to this appeal arriving on your desk. Asan employee, I've always done my job to the best of my ability and have an internal loveand commitment to the betterment of the students and my university which educatesthem. I've always served my superiors (i.e. Dr. Clarence Toomer, Dr. Pat Ford and Mr.Gary Bush) with the professionalism that goes with the position that I hold. I've neverhad a negative performance appraisal, been reprimanded for any reason nor had myloyalty, honesty or integrity questioned during my 12 years of employment at AlabamaA&M University.

Dr. Hugine, I don't have the words to express how devastated I am as a result of thisunfortunate situation that has occurred. I don't have the slightest idea as to what couldhave caused this unjust and unreasonable action by Mr. Bush. I don't even want tospeculate. I just want to return to my job and continue to do it as I always have donewithout any retaliation on the part of Mr. Bush. I firmly believe that the whole grievanceprocess to this point has been tainted and predetermined. I have not received anindependent review or a reasonable justification as to why the decisions were made touphold Mr. Bush's recommendation for termination by Ms. Nancy Vaughn or Dr. VannNewkirk. I find it hard to believe that this situation has reached your level with all thatyou have to do as President of the University. This action does your office a gravedisservice due to the fact that it was done without justification or substantiation of any

Page 27: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

wrong doing on my part. Any reasonable reviewer of the facts would have found thisaction to be without merit. Again, I firmly believe that the administrators in the reviewprocess have done a disservice to your office. It is very troubling to me that this hasreached your office. I'm hopeful that after your investigation and review of the facts thatmy faith in the administration can be restored, by a fair and just decision from youordering me to return to work and erasing this stain from my personnel file. I'm just anhonest, hardworking, God-fearing employee and mother with a child that's disabled.When I say this is a living nightmare; half has never been told. This unjust andunnecessary action against me has taken a great toll on my family and me. Dr. Hugine, Iappeal to your sense of fairness and justice. I'm not asking for anything to be given tome out of compassion or pity. I'm asking that this wrong done to me be made rightbecause right is right and wrong and injustice will always be wrong.

I've enclosed all the correspondence and letters that I have received from universityofficials and my response to them pertaining to the subject action for your review.

Reference your letter, Subject: Termination of Employment, February 28,2011.

Ms. Vaughn:

Your referenced letter was in error due to the fact that In accordance with Section 8.6pertaining to Grievance Procedures of the Alabama A&M University Staff Handbookadopted by the board of Trustees on October 28, 1993, I responded in a timely manner byappealing your decision to uphold Mr. Gary Bush decision for termination to Dr. VannNewkirk, Associate Vice President by certified mail on February 17, 2011. This date waswell within the time parameters set forth in the above University Staff Handbook forappeal procedures.

Therefore, your decision to consider my grievance closed is a violation of my rights andin direct conflict with the university policy regarding employee grievance procedures.Unless I receive a reversal of this decision in writing, Iwill be taking all avenues oflegalremedies to right this injustice brought upon me by your decision.

Ifind your action to be done without regard to the university's employee grievanceprocedures and personal in nature. This whole process has been flawed from thebeginning and based on unsubstantiated allegations. In addition, your decision to upholdMr. Bush's action was baseless and unwarranted and has served to undermine theintegrity and reputation of the university. This action has caused me undue hardship,emotional and physical distress.

Iwould appreciate an adequate response to this request in a timely manner.

In accordance with Section 8.6 pertaining to Grievance Procedures of the Alabama A&M University Staff

Handbook adopted by the Board of Trustees on October 28,1993. I am appealing the decision by the

Human Resource Director, Mrs. Nancy W. Vaughn to uphold Mr. Bush's recommendation for

employment termination.

I have attached the above referenced documents for your review.

I find the original action by Mr. Bush and the upholding of his action by Mrs. Vaughn to be unfounded,

callous and unconscionable. I find their actions to be adverse to university policy and have personally

damaged my reputation, good name and character by virtue the false allegations and actions affecting

my employment.

Page 32: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

I cannot understand why Mr. Bush would take this action or even more so Mrs. Vaughn upholding it. On

its face, any reasonable person would say this action is over the top and not substantiated by fact or

reason.

Therefore, I'm appealing to you in hope that this injustice will be corrected and that I will be ordered

back to work with all references to this false allegation be removed from my personnel file and that you

implement a review procedure to insure that I face no retaliation of any kind as to my employment with

the university.

FROM: Veronica Acklin-Bell, Administrative Secretary

DATE: January 6, 2011

RE: Misplacement of LRCfunds - Petty Cash and Summary of Cash Deposits

Collected on October 22, 2010

Initial responses were made to the allegations relative to the misplacement of funds discovered by Mr.

Bush, Interim Director, Ms. Delecia Draper, Graduate Research Assistant and Ms. Andrianna Haygood,

undergraduate student worker on Friday, October 29,2010. Please refer to package hand delivered on

Monday, November zs". 2010 to Human Resources office.

The following responses are to additional comments received from Mr. Bush on Tuesday, December

21st, 2010.

I would like to reiterate that my daughter's illness is ongoing and of a serious nature. She has kidney

disease that requires a continuous monitoring and doctor's care. Her doctor's are located both in

Huntsville and Birmingham. During the period of time that Mr. Bush refers to, LaKeesha was admitted

to the hospital in Birmingham from Tuesday, August 31st through Friday, October 1st• This required my

attendance with her and her doctor's throughout this period oftime. I did charge the appropriate sick

level time off during this time. Prior to August, if my time recording record was checked, it would be

noted that my "excess" time off would have been during the time in 2007 when she had a double

transplant of the kidneys and pancreas. Other than these times, I feel that my leave was not excessivenor did I take advantage of being off. However, there were times where I did come back to the office to

provide any support that was requested of me by Mr. Bush which required me to leave her in

Birmingham alone.

Also, if you follow the timeline of when I was responsible for the petty cash, it is a very short duration.

Mrs. Lightford retired at the end of June. She was the only person prior to her retirement responsible

for the petty cash. In July I did not handle the money due to trying to train in Banner and take on task

that Mrs. Lightford did. August was the first month that I started to work with the petty cash. Mr. Bush

is correct that I collected money once from the machines (Mr. Balentine escorted me while collecting

the money). Note that he did not say that money was missing. The money was put in the bag and

placed in the drawer where it was usually kept until it was counted later by someone else. From the end

of August through first week of October, I was out of the office due to being in Birmingham, Alabama.

Upon returning the second week in October, Ms. Draper and I counted what had been collected from

the machines. There were no questions with this deposit. The time in question was the week of

October 22nd when I made change from the money with Ms. Draper and Ms. Haygood counted and I

made the deposit to the cashier's office. This is what is now being questioned. I do not understand howsomeone can accuse me so adamantly when there is so much room for others to be in the exact same

Page 36: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

spot. We all were dealing with the money. We were all dealing with a new process. We all had access

to the drawer. We all had keys to the office. There are just too many unknowns to make such

accusations against one person, especially severe enough to cost someone their job and income. They

were more familiar with the process since I had been out of the office. They handled the money much

more than I during the period in question. If he felt so strongly that I was not handling things correctly,

then why as my manager did he not warn me of the seriousness of the matter. Why did he let me be in

harm's way instead of trying to help correct the problem? Part of being a good manger is nurturing and

providing mentorship to your employees. I feel that being that I was trying to transition to a new

position, that I would get this kind of support. I feel that I have been blindsided and totally disrespected

by the way this was handled and the insinuation that I would jeopardize my job for something that

sounds so trivial. I want to have faith that the right thing will prevail in the handling of this matter. In

this economy I need my job. I do not take it lightly and wish for it to be handled so that I can return to

work.

Additionally, I verbally said to Mrs. Bell that we will meet to discuss these new policy guidelines and that

henceforth, whenever the monies are collected from the copier machines that it would be done as a

team. I also told her that the petty cash drawer will now have a minimum of $200.00 dollars and will be

kept at that minimum amount from now on.

Page 38: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

In response to the 3rd sentence, Mrs. Bell has been busy with her daughter's illness and in her absence,

the Learning Resources Center must continue to collect the monies from the copiers because theCashier's Office has insisted that the monies should really be collected on a daily basis but the LRC does

not have the manpower nor the time to do this task on a daily basis. This practice of collecting on a

random basis was established prior to my becoming the Acting Director of the Learning Resources

Center.

Point 2_15t paragraph, page 1, next to last sentence: Mrs. Bell is taking out of context the timeline of

my asking Ms. Draper to contact her relative to the whereabouts of the money. This was done by cell

phone on October 29, 2010. This does not validate her safeguarding the money. The petty cash drawer

and the money bag were kept in locked drawers, why would I agree to Mrs. Bell removing the moniesand placing in an envelope within her credenza that is not locked and without a key?

Point 3_2nd paragraph, page 1: this sentence is taken out of context. This was in response to her cell

phone call that was received on October 29, 2010 when I was in Florence, Alabama. I returned her

phone call and wanted to know why had she called? Prior to returning her call, I made a decision not to

discuss this matter over the phone but will discuss upon my return to the office. I sensed that Mrs. Bell

did not want to respond to me about Ms. Draper's earlier phone call but chose to play down the

seriousness of the issue.

Point 4-3rd paragraph, page 1: I understand that Mrs. Bell was on leave October 29, 2010 when the

monies were discovered missing. Since I was not in the office, why would I place a call to Mrs. Bell

without knowing all of the facts? Again, why would I have placed a phone call to her first when I did not

have all of the facts to determine the appropriate resolution to this matter?

For a matter of record, upon my return from Florence on Friday evening (Oct. 29,2010), I stopped by

the LRCto conduct my own personal investigation. I, too, discovered that the monies were no where tobe found. I also had looked in her credenza and could not find the envelope with the money inside.

Point 5_Sth paragraph, page 1: I did not ask Mrs. Bell to figuratively count the money in my presence

but as she walked into my office, she waived the envelope in front of me and said that the money was

here. She pulled out a $100 dollar bill and what looked to be was a $50 dollar bill. At the time, I only

said okay but thought it was strange that the bills were in higher denominations that what was originally

collected. Again, Mrs. Bell's assertions are that there were so many students who came in asking for

change that she had to make change for the students and that is how she came up with the larger bills.

Mrs. Bell has always asserted that she goes to the bank to receive the appropriate change in order for

Administrative Services to provide this service to our students and staff. I told her that in the future, she

should go to the Cashier's Office to request change in lower denominations instead of always going to

the local banks.

Point 6 s" paragraph, page 1: There has never been a policy of placing envelopes filled with money in

the credenza that is unlocked and without a key.

Page 39: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

Point 7-7th paragraph, page 2: When Mrs. Bell took the money to the cashier's office, she failed to notethat the "Summary of cash Receipts" totaled $225.02. That discrepancy should have been caught by

Mrs. Bell since the cashier clerk counted only $216.82 as having been received from the Learning

Resources Center. Whenever an LRCstaff member takes money to the University Cashier Office, the

policy is to make sure the exact amont of money is what is in the money bag. It is university's policy to

supply this information on the form. This has been a customary practice done by all LRCAdministrative

Services staff. This should have been done by Mrs. Bell to validate what was done by her removing the

monies from both locations. Additionally, she asserts that the other three people who also had. accessed to the money bag may have broken the wrapped coin rolls. This is an affront to my character

and integrity as well as Ms. Draper and Ms. Haygood. We have conducted ourselves in a professional

manner when performing the duties and responsibilities of the Administrative Services of the Learning

Resources Center. This is a very unfortunate character assassination delivered by Mrs. Bell and it is truly

unfounded.

Point 8-8th paragraph, page 2, 1st sentence: since becoming Acting Director, I have never recalled

having a conversation with anyone in Administrative Services that the office returned to students that

much money ($26.00) due to money being lost in the copyring machines. The few instances, that I am

aware of, have been minimal at best but not that much within a week's time.

Point 9-9th paragraph, page 2, there was common practice to always keep the petty cash drawer

locked. Additionally, when Mrs. Bell moved into Mrs. Ughtford's former office, she opened both

entrances to her suite and therefore this accessibility allowed anyone coming into the Administrative

Services's office suite to have access. Therefore, the drawer where the petty cash was kept had to

remain locked. On many instances, when Mrs. Bell was busy or out of the office (often), she gave this

authority to student workers in Administrative Services to make change and she always made them

aware of where the key was to open the drawer. I witnessed this only several occasions with my own

eyes.

Point IO-6th paragraph, page 2: Mrs. Bell is providing totally false statements within this paragraph.

Despite the fact that she asserts that Ms. Draper was out Monday and Tuesday, October 25 and 26,2010, this is not true. Administrative Services keep a daily log of who is on leave or who does not report

to work. No where is there any documented proof of her allegations?

Point 11-8th paragraph, page 2, 3rd sentence: There is no common practice to take money from the

money bag and place in an envelope and kept in an unlocked and unsecured credenza. As the acting

director, I would not condone such a practice. By doing this, would make taking the money that much

easier to take. There has been only one additionally incident where Mrs. Bell stated that money was

kept in an envelope and that was an incident that happened around August 29, 2010, when it was

discovered that $80.00 was missing when Ms. Draper and I had counted.

Point 12-10th paragraph, page 2: On a number of occasions, Mrs. Bell and I have noticed our doors

opened from the previous evening. Perhaps, in our haste to leave for the day, we didn't shut the doors

Page 40: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

properly. When encountering my own office door opened, I haven't found anything missing. Perhaps,the cleaning crew forgot to close the open after their cleaning.

Point 13_1st paragraph, page 3: The discrepany in the coin rolls amounting to $8.80 is very interesting.

Routinely, if the coin roll is not complete, then it is noted on the roll the exact amount. This is a practice

instituted by Administrative Services.

Point 14-4th paragraph, page 3: Mrs. Bell brings up the discussion of keys. Prior to Mrs. Willie

Ughtford's retirement, there were at least three full time personnel residing within Administrative

Services. Due to Mrs. Bell being on leave to take her daughter to her doctor appointments, she has not

been in the office to condut the affairs of the Office. Consequently, she is the one who raised the issue

of granting Ms. Draper to have keys to the office and I concurred. Often, prior to my arriving to work, I

discovered that I was the first one to arrive because Mrs. Bell forgot to tell me that she had to take her

daughter to the doctor. On a number of occasions, various organizations had been assigned to meet in

our various conference and meeting rooms, but could not gain access immediately because neither Mrs.

Bell nor I had arrived to work. I carefully thought about if I should give Ms. Draper keys, I strictly told

her that she has proven be dedicated and responsible for maintaining the appropriate office coverage.

Mrs. Bell had been busy taking her daughter to the doctor and running her various errands. I had to

make a decision on making sure that the Learning Resources Center had appropriate office coverage.

Since hiring Ms. Draper as a Graduate Research Assistant, she has provided appropriate office coverage.

Point 15-- last paragraph, page 3: On a number of occasions, I had conversations with Mrs. Bell to

discuss issues of integrity and to avoid all appearances of theft. I spoke often to Mrs. Bell about otheruniversity employees being fired for such aggregious acts of theft against the university. Prior to me

having these conversations, I was made aware of incidents of money being unaccounted for when Mrs.

Bell was handling the money. Since I never documented these incidents, I could not bring up any charges

nor discuss these incidents with her. Additionally, relative to her statement receiving excellent

performance reviews in the past, since becoming the acting director of the LRC, I have not given her a

performance review.

In response to her statement "It seems a deliberate violation of trust." Herewith is some backgroundinformatian that is necessary for the record: When Mrs. Willie Lightford retired on June 30,2010, she

and I had collected the monies from the copiers and counted and I eventually took the money to the

Cashier Office. She had strongly encouraged me to secure all pass keys and to keep them in my

possession. At that time, I gathered all of the pass keys to the copiers (I thought) and purposefully hid

them from anyone knowing where they were located within Administrative Services. During mid-August

I soon discovered that Mrs. Bell had in her possession a pass key. I discovered this purely by accident. I

was having difficulties opening the copier residing in the Serials Departments area. Mrs. Earnestine

Whitifjeld came out of her office and said that Mrs. Bell had already pulled the money the day beforeand why was I doing the same. Much to my chagrin, I was inadvertently made aware that there were

Page 41: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

other pass keys not in my possession. This incident alone was the major reason why I had to implement

policy on how Administrative Services would perform such tasks and follow appropriate protocols when

handling monies received from the copiers in Serials, Reference and 1st Floor Computer Lab.

Relative to Mrs. Bell's assertions that she had not been apprised of prior warning to the event that took

place on November iz". she is not portraying an accurate picture. On a number of occasions, when

hearing words that othe university employees have been terminated, I reemphasized that we want to

remain above reproach in how we handle the affairs of the Administrative Services office.

For Mrs. Bell to further assentuate that the role of student worker and facility staff was reversed is

totally true. Since Mrs. Bell was taking a large amount of sick leave to take care of her daughter, I

needed someone to help maintain office coverage. Ms. Draper lives not too far from the University and

she has proven to be extremely reliable and capable individual. Even Mrs. Bell delegated numerous

duties and responsibilities to Ms. Draper to make sure that the tasks were completed in a timely

manner. When making contacts throughout the university to other stakeholders when the LRCneeded

help, Ms. Draper was extremely instrumental in contacting these individuals and receiving appropriate

responses. Mrs. Bell knows this and has complimented how efficient Ms. Draper and her knowledge of

who to contact has served the Learning Resources Center very well.

I take exception to Mrs. Bell's statement relative to a business and social relationship that included

lunch engagements and extended work hours. This latter portion of this statement is totally FALSE.

Mrs. Bell knows that I have treated all of the LRCstaff to lunch, including her on numerous occasions.

Despite the fact that Ms. Draper has performed her job as a graduate research assistant in an

outstanding manner and has stayed well beyond her tour of duty, without appropriate compensation, I

have felt nothing but gratitude that she has never approach me to ask for additional compensation. She

knows the University policy. Years ago, she worked in the Office of the President and she knows the

appropriate policy and guidelines that are followed.

In terms of the last paragraph on page 4, Mrs. Bell is once again asserting many false statements. On

November 12, 2010, I am the one who called her into my office and provided her with the letters signed

by me and the Dr. Hugine. The student workers did not have any knowledge that these actions were

forthcoming. It is truly regrettable that Mrs. Bell has suggested that I have broached the confidentiality

of this office, when I desparately made every attempt to make things work.

To provide appropriate compensation for performing additional duties, I submitted "supplemental pay

increases" for Mrs. Bell on two occasions. I have made every attempt to provide a harmonious working

environment. Unfortunately, it is Mrs. Bell who has failed to live up to the standards set by the

University. I have done all in my power of persuasion to get Mrs. Bell to do her job and to do it in an

ethical manner.

Handling and Accounting for Cash Policy*

Handling and Accounting for Cash by University Personnel

A chairperson or director whose office accepts cash or checks for any purpose is responsible for assuring

that proper procedures for handling and accounting for cash are followed. cash handling requires special

control measures that must be monitored continually by supervisory personnel to detect any

weaknesses. One seemingly insignificant weakness can result in a substantial loss. Basic information and

guidelines are given below.

1. Cash Receipts Controla. All "over-the-counter" collections of money must be supported by pre-numbered

receipts, pre-numbered tickets, or cash register tapes. Computer-generated invoicesshall also be pre-numbered, unless the Office of Internal Audits certifies that other validmeans of cash control are in use. The original copies of receipts are to be issued to thepayer, and duplicate copies are to be retained for balancing with cash deposits and foraudit purposes. The same principle applies to cash register tapes; the original is issuedto the payer, and duplicate (transaction) tapes are retained. Department records are tobe maintained on all event tickets used.

b. Coin-operated machine collections must be recorded in a log prior to the preparation ofa CASH TRANSMITTAL form. Special control problems arise when sales are made withcoin-operated machines.

c. A department "cash log" should be used by a non-cash-handling employee for thepurpose of maintaining a permanent record of incoming cash. If the departmentreceives cash for sales or services for which department sales receipts are written, thisneed not necessarily be recorded in the cash log. The person accountable for thedepartment's budget is responsible for reviewing the cash log and monthly budgetreport to ensure all cash receipts have been deposited to the proper account.

d. When cash is transferred from one person to another (even for a short period oftime),it should be counted in the presence of both parties. The amount should be recorded on

Page 43: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

a receipt, and the receipt should be signed by the person accepting custody. This isnecessary for the purposes of establishing responsibility relating to a shortage.

e. Weekly cash reports shall be prepared by counting team, reconciling cash to receiptsand accounting for overages and shortages. The consolidated cash reports and CASHTRANSMITTAL form shall be prepared by counting team and each person signed theform. The CASH TRANSMITTAL form must be prepared in triplicate. One copy remainswith the department. The original is locked in the bag, and the second copy is presentedto the cashier together with the locked bag. The cashier wm return the validated copy.

f. Cash and checks in amounts over $200 shall be deposited within 24 business hours, andweekly even if the accumulation is less than $200.

i. Deposits to the cashier shall be made by a department representative using a

locked bag.

ii. A Campus Security escort is required for a deposit of more than $500 in cash. An

acceptable alternative to a Campus Security escort (especially when the department is located a

short distance from the Cashier's Operations) is for a supervisory-level person to serve as an

escort. Deposits with more than $1,000 cash must always have an escort from Campus Security.

iii. The department representative making the deposit must get a receipt from the cashier.

It will not always be practical to wait at the cashier's window for all cash and checks to be

counted and a receipt to be issued at the time of deposit. To avoid the wait for a cash count, the

cashier will issue a receipt for the locked bag. At the time that the cashier receives the locked

bag, the cashier will retain the copy of the cash transmittal form and forward the locked bag to

the head cashier. The head cashier will open and count the deposit, validate the original copy of

the CASH TRANSMITTAL form, and return it to the cashier. The cashier will compare the two

copies, and if there are no discrepancies, the cashier will forward the validated CASH

TRANSMITTAL form and cash receipt to the appropriate department. The address to which the

receipt is to be mailed should be indicated on the CASH TRANSMITTAL form.

2. Security

a. A Campus Security escort is required for all cash deposits exceeding $500 made outside theoffice (except for authorized armored car pickup services).

b. Cash processing areas shall be secured from entry by unauthorized people.

c. Cash shall be stored in a safe when not in use and in a register, locked drawer or locked box atthe cashier's window. Cash in unlocked drawers or boxes should never be left unattended.

d. The cash-handling and record-keeping functions should be separated. If the office is small andseparation of duties is impractical, the supervisory personnel who do not handle cash shouldperform specific verification that provides for reasonable and sound internal controls. It is thespecific responsibility of supervisory level personnel to review cash-handling documents that are

Page 44: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

prepared by personnel who report to them. Assistance from the Office of Internal Audits shouldbe requested when needed.

Petty Cash Management

1. Definitions

a. Types of Petty Cash Funds

i. tmprest Fund - a petty cash fund that remains constant, containing cash or satisfactoryevidence of disbursement (paid receipts) equal to the amount of the fund. This fundshould be used only for purchasing needed items.

ii. Change Fund - a petty cash fund used for a cashier's change-making operations.

b. Custodian - a person who has ultimate responsibility for petty cash funds per the Director of

Endowments/Student Service's written records.

Page 46: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

c. Cashier - a person who actually works with the fund on a day-to-day basis.

d. Cash bank - a sub-unit of the total petty cash fund (i.e., $100.00 of a $500.00 petty cash fund).

2. Procedures

a. The custodian should sign for the entire petty cash fund:

i. Whenever there is a change of custodian, the Director of Endowments/Student Servicesmust be notified of the change.

ii. The cashier should sign for all or any part ofthe fund entrusted to him or her.

b. The petty cash fund must be reconcilable at all times. The custodian must have the actual cash or a

signed receipt for any cash not on hand.

c. The custodian's supervisor should verify the petty cash fund balances periodically throughout the

year.

d. Only the custodian or cashier should handle the petty cash fund.

e. As soon as a check is received, a restrictive endorsement should be placed on it. This endorsement

must begin with the words "FOR DEPOSIT ONLY TO Alabama A &M University and should include the

name of the office or department.

f. Personal checks should not be cashed for any reason. Checks for only the amount of sales (goods

and/or services) may be accepted if so desired.

g. Petty cash funds are not to be used for financing lOUs, loans or accounts receivable.

h. Private funds should not be commingled with the petty cash fund.

i. Petty cash funds approved to be used as imprest funds should be reimbursed at reasonably frequent

intervals throughout the fiscal year. At a minimum the fund should be reimbursed quarterly, and in any

event by May 31 of each fiscal year.

j. Whenever there is a change of cashier, the custodian or his or her designee should open the petty

cash fund safe and witness the verification of the petty cash fund by the new cashier. This should be

recorded on the PETTY CASH RECONCILIA TlON form (see example), and should be signed and dated by

both the custodian (or his or her designee) and the new cashier.

k. Petty cash funds should be counted or reconciled as follows:

Page 47: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

i. For change funds - the cashier of the change fund or a designated employee shouldcount and record the change fund on a CASHIER'S RECAP SHEET (see example) daily. Thisworksheet should be reviewed, signed, and dated by the custodian.

ii. For imprest funds - the custodian should count and record the imprest fund on a PETTYCASH IMPREST FUND RECONClLlA nON sheet (see example) at least once a week. Thisworksheet should be signed and dated by the custodian.

I. For added control, when practical, the supervisor should clear the cash register daily and show the

beginning and ending register totals on the CASHIER'S RECAP SHEET.

m. A CASHIER'S RECAP SHEET should be prepared to record receipts for sales and services for each day's

business. The preferred method is for each person who takes in receipts for sales and services to

prepare a CASHIER'S RECAP SHEET each day he or she makes sales.

n. Whenever possible and practical, the functions of receiving cash or receipts (taking in cash receipts

and balancing daily) and recording the cash or receipts (preparing the CASH TRANSMITTAL form) should

be done by two different employees (i.e., separation of duties for good internal control).

o. An acceptable form of receipt must be used for all revenues received, such as pre-numbered tickets,

pre-numbered receipts, or any other pre-numbered general purpose forms reflecting the type of sale

should be marked as cash register receipts, and the receipt should be dated, with the amount noted.

u. The cash register should be locked when unattended during working hours.

v. All negotiable items should be placed in a safe during non-working hours whenever possible.

w. The combination to the safe containing a petty cash fund (change or imprest fund) should be limited

to three persons.

x. Access to locked areas used to store money should be limited to a minimal number of people.

Page 48: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

y. The Office of Internal Audits should be notified immediately whenever any overages or shortages

occur in the amount of $25 or more.

z. When petty cash is counted by an auditor, the person responsible for the money must remain present.

Page 50: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

not know what was considered unethical about trying to keep money from being stolen. He made the

verbal statement about not removing the money from the office. The money was always kept within

the facility.

I took the deposit across the street to the Cashiers Office on campus. There was a difference of

approximately $8.80 dollars noted from the coin deposit. I did not break the coin rolls to make change.

Perhaps the other three people who also had access to the money bag knowwhy the wrapped coin rolls

were broken. The difference in the deposit amount shown on the deposit slip versus the actual amount

counted by the cashiers was not uncommon and can be validate by the people in the Cashiers office.

The difference in the petty cash amount of approximately $26.00 dollars could have been caused by

several reasons such as change being given to people who lost money in the copying machines. I do not

know why Mr. Bush felt that it was bizarre that I knew the location of where the deposit is kept since

Ms. Draper shared with me on her return on Wednesday what had transpired since the previous Friday.

Also a statement was made that the petty cash drawer was always locked but during the day the

common practice in place was that the drawer wasn't locked until the end of the day.

It is my practice to lock my office at the end of the day. There have been multiple times that I know that

someone had been in my office after hours or prior to my return in the morning. One such incident the

door was left open. I asked both the clean lady and Mr. Bush about their knowledge of the incident.

Mr. Bush, the cleaning lady, Ms. Draper and I are the only ones that have keys to my office currently. No

one admitted they had accessed my office in my absence.

I do not accept the statements submitted by Ms. Draper and Ms. Haygood in their entirety. There are

discrepancies in each of their statements. Please refer to the appropriate paragraphs identified below

for each.

From Ms. Draper:

Ms. Draper erroneously stated in her second paragraph that she was at work on Monday, October zs",2010 when in fact she was out sick on Monday and Tuesday. She did not report to work until

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010 at 10 a.m.

In her third paragraph, she was correct in stating that the cash portion of the deposit had been

removed. She did not mention anything had changed regarding the coins in her statement.

She was correct in her statement that when she talked to me on the cell phone I told her that the money

had been placed in an envelope and was in my office. This was done to safeguard the larger amount of

cash in the deposit bag. As stated previously this was common practice. This was not the first time the

money had been placed in an envelope. Mr. Bush was aware of the practice even if she was not. She

stated to me that she never went in my office when I wasn't there. At this time she expressed also that

this was not an emergency and that I could wait until Monday to come in to handle the matter. I was on

2

Page 51: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

my way back to Huntsville from Birmingham taking care of my sick child after leaving the kidney

transplant center. She never stated that Mr. Bush wanted to know where the money was kept in my

office immediately that day. I expressed to her that I could come directly from UAB to the office if they

needed me to. She and Mr. Bush both said it could wait until Monday. They never gave me a clue that

they were upset, concerned, and/or distressed over the matter. They had multiple chances to express

how serious they were taking this situation prior to Monday but failed to do so.

It is essential to note that the discrepancy in the coin rolls can account for the approximate $8.80 dollarsthat was in question.

From Ms. Haygood:

Ms. Haygood's paragraph specifies that other money had been collected which the means the money

bag amount had changed since their first count. People other than me had access to the money. Also,

there are discrepancies in her statement and Ms. Draper. Draper stated that only the bills had been

removed. However, Ms. Haygood stated that she noticed the coin rolls had been broken. Note Ms.

Draper had been in the money bag the morning prior to Ms. Haygood coming into the office that

afternoon to witness the money count again.

In Summary:

While Mr. Bush, Ms. Draper and Ms. Haygood had strange feelings over this, there are no facts to

without question substantiate any misappropriating handling of cash by me. There is no evidence to

support the discrepancy of approximate $8.80 dollars in the deposit bag was undoubted caused by my

error alone. The only thing that is in question is really how I handled the large bills which I reiterate was

to safeguard the money and was a common practice from the previous process.

I do not have a problem with following a well defined new process with the handling of money and keys.

However, I do have concerns about allowing the graduate student and/or undergraduate student having

keys. Ms. Draper started employment with the LRCthis semester. She was granted keys in September

to Mr. Bush, my office and the entire Services. In the past we only allowed one student to have a key,

Ms. Yolanda Toney, who had been there 3 years before given a key. The key gave her access to

Administrative services only.

I do take these allegations seriously and tried to do the best to safeguard the monies in my trust by

following the past practices and security measures at the University until the deposits are made.

In my twelve years of service with the University my work ethics has never been questioned by my

previous supervisors and co-workers. I have received excellent performance reviews in the past. My

character has never been questioned. It seems very harsh that there was no indication or warning given

to this event. It seems a deliberate violation of trust. I do not understand why prior to a situation

3

Page 52: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

becoming so severe that all parties should have been able to discuss their true concerns without such

formalities. It has been a shocking and upsetting time for me. The role of student worker and facility

staff seems reversed. I feel in my absence Mr. Bush befriended Ms. Draper to allow her to have keys

and to take on more responsibilities that was never discussed with me. They had formed what appears

to be both a business and social relationship that included lunch engagements and extended work

hours. At the beginning of each semester, I conducted orientation with the students and discussed the

confidential nature of library matters and to not get involved in facility and staff business. This was in

an attempt to avoid sides being taken on matters that they did not have full knowledge and/or

understanding of the situations.

When this incident first happened, my thoughts on how this should have been handled would have been

that Mr. Bush would have talked directly to me. Keep in mind Mr. Bush had been out of the office the

full week prior. He never talked candidly with me about what he thought had happened with the funds.

He only discussed with the student Ms. Draper. I feel like my career and business had been discussed

with students more so then with me. Within the two week period unknown to me, he and the student

were formally documenting what they thought had occurred without any discussions with me. I feel

that there were several opportunities for information to have been conveyed prior to it getting to this

point that were not taken. Mr. Bush allowed the student to call me in to let me know that I was being

put on Administrative leave and being terminated. This seems unethical to have allowed a student

worker to have such confidentiality, authority and privileges well beyond what I had been granted in my

time with working with Mr. Bush.

Since acquiring additional responsibilities of the Acquisition Associate/LRC account role due to a fellow

co-worker retirement, I spent my time trying to learn and maintain these activities as well as the

Administrative tasks. I would like to continue my tenure at the University and I hope we all strive to

resolve this issue and continue to work in a positive and professional environment.

Re Misplacement of LRCfunds-Petty Cash and Summary of Cash Deposits

Collected on October 22, 2010

Allegations have been made relative to missing funds discovered by Ms. Delecia Draper, Graduate

Research Assistant and Ms. Andrianna Haygood, undergraduate student worker on Friday, October 29,

2010.

Documentation is enclosed that provide accounts on what transpired on the date in question.

You are being provided copies of the "Summary for Cash Receipts" prepared on October 22, 2010 and

signed by Mssrs. Draper and Haygood. The amount collected and received was $225.02. Additionally, on

October 22, 2010, the Petty Cash on hand was in the amount of $200.00. This document was signed by

Mssrs. Haygood and Draper.

According to Mssrs. Draper and Haygood, they discovered on Friday, Octoer 29, 2010 that most of the

cash from the petty cash case and money bag (hidden in my office) were missing. If you recall, we have

had discussions on implementing new policy procedures when it comes to collecting monies from the

copiers using a team approach, counting and documenting what was received, appropriate forms filled

out, recorded and taken to the Cashier's Office for deposits.

Mssrs. Draper and Haygood have indicated that in their concern about the missing funds, they contacted

you by telephone in which they told you that the funds were missing. Your response was the money

was hidden in your office. Unfortunately, according to their statements, they looked throughout your-s-

office and discovered no funds.

On Monday, November 1, 201~ou andl had a conversation where you stated that you had placed the

money in an envelope. You showed me the envelope but t never ask to count the exact amount. You

then said that you will take the money bag and deposit to the Cashiers' Office of the Office of the

Controller. I emphasized that if the money was taken out of the office that it was unethical and not to do

it again. You then said that the money was never taken out of the office.

Mrs. Bell, these are serious allegations lodged ag-ainst you and I am asking that you provide evidence to

dispute the statement of accounts submitted by Mssrs. Draper and Haygood. You should do so

immediately. I have done to the best of my ability to create an atmosphere of trust and harmony while

we carry out the duties of the Administrative Services and the entire Learning Resources Center.

Page 54: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

According to the University's Staff Handbook Appendix M Disciplinary Guidelines Table, Notice of

Written Warning and Notice of Disciplinary Suspension, alleged allegations are subject to your

employment at the University being terminated due to "Theft of University property or funds",

regardless that this being your first documented offense.

8.1 Disciplinary Guidelines that the University adheres to when such instances happen.

"The University specifically reserves the right to discipline employees for conduct as it, in its sole

discretion deems appropriate .... Employees who fail to meet the requirements of employee conduct will

be subject to disciplinary action, which may range from warning to termination .... The University is not

required to progress through any step prior to termination of an employee.

8.4 Termination for Disciplinary Reasons

... The employee has engaged in major misconduct involving, but not limited to those forms of

misconduct which are listed in Appendix M and which call for termination either for the initial offense or

for successive offenses.

If you accept as fact the statements submitted by Mssrs. Draper and Haygood, then you must agree to

the following recommendations.

1) You will no longer have access to the petty cash drawer case nor make any money changerequested by students or staff

2) You will no longer have any responsibility to accept money for the Learning Resources Center3) You will turn in your bypass key to the Xerox copiers located in Serials and Reference

Departments.4) You will need to turn in the master key to the LRCand have access to Administrative Services'

front entrance and your immediate office only.

The above measures were discussed with Dr. Michael Orok, Associate Provost for Academic Affairs and

Interim Dean for Graduate Studies and Mrs. Nancy Washington Vaughn, Director of the Human

Resources. No one takes their responsibility lightly in regards to these serious allegations but feel that if

the above recommendations are not heeded, then the next step will be to terminate your employment

if these practices continue.

This reprimind serves as a warning for you to cease these activities. If you feel that these allegations are

not warranted, then you have right to provide evidence to the contrary.

Report of Misplacement of Funds in the lRC

Sequence of Events

October 29,2010- My wife and I were traveling to Florence, Alabama when Ms. Draper called and she

wanted to know if I were in the area and to come to the LRC. I told her that unfortunately we out of

town and could it wait.

I, Gary Bush, received a call from Ms. Delecia Draper, reporting that the money from the petty cash

drawer (approximately $200.00) as well as the cash from the money bag that had been collected and

counted by her and Andrianna Haygood on October 22, 2010 were missing.

In my conversation with Ms. Draper, I said that she should call Mrs. Bell and ask her the whereabouts of

the missing funds.

When Ms. Draper called me back and stated that Mrs. Bell's response was that she had put the money

away.

Ms. Draper asked Mrs. Bell continuously where is the money and Mrs. Bell's response was she put it

away.

In the meantime, I received a call from Mrs. Bell but I decided not to answer the call until I arrive in

Florence and could pull over and have a detailed conversation with Mrs. Bell. After arriving in Florence, I

decided to return Mrs. Bell's call. I asked her "ls everything okay and why she called?" Her initial

response was to say "Had she call me?" I then said that her number showed up on my cell phone log.

Her response then was to ask about my trip to Montgomery (since I had been away the entire week

attending meetings) and then I ask her why had she called?

Her response was that she had received a call from Paulette and everthing was okay. Since I did not

know all of the details, I said to Mrs. Bell to enjoy the weekend and will see her on Monday because I

was returning to work on Monday instead ofTuesday as planned.

November I, 2010

On Monday, once I arrived to the office, Mrs. Bell explained to me the alleged situation with the money

and she stated that many students had requested change and she felt that she should hide the money in

another location (this is rarely done by anyone in Administrative Services). So I ask her "Where is the

money and she showed me an envelope with a hundred dollar bill. My initial response was OH! and

then I thought, why would the LRCbe changing a hundred dollar bill when there are banks and the

University cashier to transact this large type of denomination.

Page 56: Ig Sacs Complaint Muumbo

She then stated that the money was put in an envelope and tucked in her credenza. Unfortunately, in

hindsight, this does not make any sense. I told her that this was unethical and not to do it again.

She then stated that she will take the money collected and counted on October 22, 2010 to the Cashier's

office and turned it in. Unfortunately, when Ms. Draper and Ms. Haygood counted the total was

$225.00. When Mrs. Bell's turned in the money it showed a balance of $216. Nine dollars were

unaccounted for in the total cumulation on the sheet. On another point, the total in the petty cash

came to approximately $174.00 and some change.

What make this all bizarre is that the money collected to turn it was kept in a drawer in my office,

initially I thought unbeknowst to Mrs. Bell (at least I thought) and how could she have known about the

location.

The petty cash drawer is kept in her office in a bottom drawer and is always locked. Only three

individuals have keys to the office and drawers (Mrs. Bell, Ms. Draper and I Gary Bush)

Statement from Andrianna Haygood

The afternoon of October 29th 2010 I arrived to work late. My co-worker Ms. Draper who is agrad assistant said that I had come just in time to help her re count the money and collect anyother money before we turn it in. (We had already collected counted the money last week). Iagreed to help and she gave me the key to get it from the locked drawer in Mr. Bush's backoffice. Both Mr. Bush and Ms. Acklin-Bell were out of the office that day. I remembered that themoney was in the 2nd drawer from when we first collected and counted the money the previousweek. When I opened that drawer I saw the money bag open when we had placed it in the drawerzipped closed and I found it strange that some of the coin rolls were open and loose coins were inthe bottom of the money bag when I had taken time to roll the coins. Then I realized that we hadstored paper bills in that bag but they were missing. I thought that maybe I had forgottensomething so I looked in every drawer of the file cabinet chest and I still didn't find any money.In my confusion I went back to the front office and informed Ms. Draper that I couldn't find allof the money. I told her that I looked through the drawers in Mr. Bush's office so she looked aswell and still no success in finding the money. Ur next idea was to check the petty cash box,which is located in Mrs. Acklin-Bell's office, to see ifit was stored in there. When we checkedthe box we then discovered that it was missing money as well! We searched both Mrs. Acklin-Bell's and Mr. Bush's office drawers for the money, it was never found. In the end Ms. Draperand I decided to inform Mr. Bush and called him.

STATEMENT OF HAPPENINGS

On October 22,2010, Andriana Haygood (student worker) and I collected all the money from thecopiers, counted it, and prepared a deposit slip in order to carry the money over the CashiersOffice. Unfortunately, once our task was complete the Cashiers Office was closed. Mr. Bush atthat time instructed us to walk the deposit over first thing Monday morning (October 25,2010).At that time the student worker, Andriana Haygood and I locked up the deposit in Mr. Bush'soffice as well as verified that the petty cash (locked it back up once finished counting it) was $200and left for the evening.

Upon my arrival to work on Monday, October 25,2010, at 10 a.m., I was preparing to take thedeposit over to the Cashier's Office and Mrs. Bell informed me to just wait until Friday (October29, 2010) and take it over.

On October 29,2010, at approximately 2 p.m. the student worker and I prepared to take thedeposit over to the Cashier's Office; but before taking we decided to verify that the deposit wasaccurate Gust for checks and balance purposes) and decided to count it again. Upon opening thedeposit bag we discover that cash portion of the deposit was not longer there just the coin rolls;after we discovered that the cash deposit was missing the student worker and I went to verify thepetty cash and it was depleted as well with the exception of $9 and some change.

At that time I called Mr. Bush to inform him of our findings and he instructed me to contact Mrs.Bell. I called her on her cell phone to discuss where the money was and her response was, "A lotof students came in for change in the past week so I had to pull the money in order to makechange; so I took the money and placed it in an envelope in my office. "

At that time I informed Mrs. Bell that I need to make the deposit and she responded, "She will bein later this afternoon to take care of it." I called Mr. Bush back to relay the message to him andMr. Bush responded that we needed to find out where she is keeping the money. AndrianaHaygood and I searched Mrs. Bell's office and could not find an envelope with any money. Mrs.Bell did not come in to work on October 29, 2010 to resolve the issue.
