NIU puts 8 employees on paid leave
(MCT) — Northern Illinois University has put on paid leave eight employees charged with felonies last week in an alleged scheme to sell university scrap materials and deposit the proceeds in a private bank account.
The employees will be paid their regular salaries while NIU police continue to investigate the unauthorized account, known as the "coffee fund," the DeKalb university wrote in a statement. The employees' annual salaries range from $27,592 to $150,677.
