An associate vice chancellor who announced her retirement a few weeks ago was arrested on June 19 and accused of stealing more than $5,000 from the University. Carolyn Collins, dean of the University College, is accused of shifting money from the University’s fund for the Summer Opportunity Program into her Tiger Card account for “personal purchases,” said LSU Police Department spokesman Capt. Russell Rogé. LSUPD was notified by Accounting Services in May about the transfers. In its investigation, LSUPD discovered Collins was illegally transferring money since 2003. Because the statute of limitations for some of the alleged thefts has expired, Collins is only being charged for the $5,050 transferred since 2005. Collins was issued a summons. Her retirement is effective tomorrow.   —–Contact Kyle Bove at [email protected]
