A husband and wife who worked at Utah Valley University for more than 15 years have been charged with taking more than $380,000 from the college through multiple alleged schemes that funneled money into their business accounts.
An audit from the university allegedly show that Jennifer and Phil Clegg were using the university’s money to renovate the family movie theater they own and pay for unauthorized travel expenses, including a trip to New York with students following a conference that attendees said “was nothing more than a vacation,” according to charging documents.
Investigators began looking into Jennifer Clegg after her coworkers reported she was using her position as financial manager of the university’s Technology & Computing College, which no longer exists.
