A recent audit of the Iowa athletic department revealed that administrators, including new Kansas State athletic director Gene Taylor, failed to adequately monitor information technology purchases, which led to wasteful spending and created risk of equipment theft, according to an Associated Press story Thursday.
The audit found missing iPads, unnecessary travel and improper credit card purchases. In one year, IT expenses increased by 43 percent. That department’s director, Patrick Delin, left his job in February as auditors were close to concluding the audit, according to the AP.
Taylor began work as K-State’s athletic director on May 1.
