Leath and Regents Back Leath Amid Audit Findings
The board supports Leath and says he should have been more transparent about Cirrus and King Air flights. Audit shows Leath flew 95 percent of Cirrus trips since 2014, many for proficiency training, with several flights billed to his office. It notes seven ISU resource trips for medical and other transport, including a planned Elmira refueling stop in 2014. Leath says he violated no laws, will no longer fly Cirrus, and ISU plans to sell the plane with board approval.
