Everyone thought Hal was a crook for ages, it was a barely maintained public secret. Bur with the largess of the Board there was nothing much to be said or done. As far as any expense to the state, I see know reason it shouldn't be borne either by the return funds by bad actors, or from the coffers of the institution. The concept of private colleges as tax-exempt entities is half a joke anyway. And to the degree that individuals can profit from a gap in regulatory structures at others loss, that is the job of the state to intercede.

How many hundreds of thousands of dollars has the state, which is essentially bankrupt, spent on this matter, how much will it spend in the future, and how much will it cause Stevens to spend on this matter? Talk of temerity and skewed priorities.
