University statement on Ethics Committee inquiry, Student Affairs investigation

University of Florida
February 28, 2019

In response to a request from the Board of Governors last September, we reviewed every construction project over $2 million for the past decade and have found that all were funded in compliance with Florida law and long-standing Board of Governors guidance. UF did not misuse E&G or carryforward funds. While there have been recent reports about a complaint alleging improper use of funds in our student affairs group, our ongoing investigation has found no evidence of any misuse of taxpayer funds. The University of Florida places the highest value on transparency, integrity and accountability to the public that it serves.
