Audit says WWU administrator used funds improperly

A Western Washington University administrator did not follow state rules on travel, according to the state Auditor's Office.
Doug Nord, the former director of the Center for International Studies at WWU, was investigated by the auditor's office for the amount of time he spent traveling, and the purposes behind the trips, between December 2007 and June 2009. During that period, Nord took 22 trips and charged WWU about $38,755 in travel expenses.
