News brief
OUS to define scope
of athletic audit
Auditors met with University
Athletic Department officials Mon
day to discuss which files they will
secure to begin a financial investi
gation of athletic teams’ travel ex
penses.
The Oregon University System
auditors, led by Director of Internal
Audits Patricia Snopkowski, are
conducting a survey to establish
which sectors of the Athletic De
partment business office hold infor
mation pertinent to the investiga
tion. After defining the scope of the
audit, Snopkowski and her team,
including University Audit Coordi
nator Heidi Sann, will gather infor
mation and review records in
earnest in November and hope to
produce a report in early December,
Snopkowski said.
University Athletic Director Bill
Moos requested the audit Oct. 10
because he said he was concerned
that fraudulent abuses of team trav
el funds may be undetected. An au
dit of University softball team ex
penses this summer by the secretary
of state’s office revealed that head
softball coach Rick Gamez misap
propriated $5,748.64 in team travel
funds.
Snopkowski’s team of auditors
will report its findings to OUS man
agement or the Oregon State Board
of Higher Education, depending on
which is deemed appropriate for
this investigation.

CALL TO FACULTY
The Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Campus Responses to Sept. 11th would like to be notified
of any published opinion pieces by University of Oregon faculty concerning
the Sept. 11th events and aftermath.
The committee would also like to be notified of any courses of interest planned for winter and spring
terms that may have relevance to or include information about Sept. 11th events.
The University Senate Ad Hoc Committee serves to coordinate and facilitate informed discussion, from a
variety of perspectives, on the events of September 11th and their aftermath. The Committee does not take
positions on issues of policy, politics, or ideology. To ensure its neutrality, the Committee will provide
clear identification of the specific sponsorship of campus activities by the groups that carry them out. In
all cases, the content of remarks and materials relating to these issues are the responsibility of their
sponsors, and do not reflect an official position of the Ad Hoc Committee or the University of Oregon.
