A faculty member at the University of Connecticut, Sherry Lynn Zane, faces first-degree larceny charges for allegedly misusing over $58,000 in university funds. She reportedly billed the university for personal trips, including visits to Disney World and Belfast, Ireland. UConn's compliance office found discrepancies in her documentation for 19 trips, with many lacking proper justification for business purposes. Zane is currently on administrative leave as the university conducts its disciplinary process following the investigation initiated by an anonymous report.
"Dr. Zane expensed trips where there were no actual planned business activities and then provided information or created documentation after the fact to justify the expenses incurred by the University."
"The compliance office referred the case to UConn police after receiving an anonymous report about Zane's travel, which allegedly included seven trips to Belfast, Ireland, where her daughter had recently moved."
