I asked today to speak about the internal audit plan.
A year ago at the Board of Governors in Tampa, I raised concerns about athletics funding, and in response I received a letter from Mr. Tzoumas, copied to the Inspector General’s office.
Mr. Zoomas wrote, “The university is supported by an experienced VP of Finance and Administration as well as the Office of General Counsel … it is my understanding that funding for athletics will come from tickets sold when the events commence, etc,, and other allowed sources.”
That was July, and if you remember, in November you had do an emergency zoom call to redirect unallowed funds away from athletics.
Despite this, there’s no auxiliary audit plan this year. You could add one.
I could say more about Mr. Tzoumas direct email to students providing legal advice, or how he buried last April’s Title IX consultants report.
To members of this board serving as part of your long-term commitment to the governance in Florida: If you sign off on another one of this guy’s audit plans, are you actually protected, reputationally or legally? I’m asking. I am not a lawyer. Thank you.
