The revelation comes following the revelation Thursday by the campus newspaper, The Chart, that Norman Katz, who has been hired as a full-time accounting instructor scheduled to begin in January (and who has been working as an adjunct instructor) pleaded guilty to embezzling $129,000 from his former workplace in Canton, Ohio:
But Speck, who declined to comment on anything about Katz specifically, did generally acknowledge to the Globe on Friday that a criminal background check has not been part of the university’s hiring procedures for some time. He said his understanding is that practice — or lack thereof — predated his arrival in January 2008, and he said there have been no explanations yet as to why.
He said he only “recently” became aware of that, although he could not say precisely when.
Why can't Speck ever be a stand-up guy and admit he made a mistake? Why does he always have to point the finger at the previous administration? Just once, I would like him to say that he's at fault, apologize, and move on.
ReplyDeleteHe's been on the job three years! Enough of blaming the "previous administration" for everything you do wrong, Bruce!
ReplyDeleteMAN UP and own up to it!
