NASA officials have decided there was no intentional wrongdoing by former NASA administrator and former Chancellor Sean O’Keefe involving allegations of inappropriate travel, The Associated Press reported today.
But a recent NASA report declared two trips in 2003 and 2004 – one for a speaking engagement at Syracuse and one for a ceremony naming O’Keefe one of the top 100 Irish Americans – as “wasteful spending.”
NASA Chief Financial Officer Ronald Spoehel said NASA will not attempt to recoup travel costs from O’Keefe.
O’Keefe served as the University’s chancellor from January 2005 until January 2008. He resigned in January and was recently named the head of General Electric’s aviation operations in Washington D.C.
