The latest finding were detailed in an operational audit of the university performed by the state auditor general and reported in the Tallahassee Democrat.

Last August it was reported that Miller had racked up over $150,000 in charges on his FAMU issued purchasing card. Miller's charges mostly covered airline travel, taxi & car services and rental cars.  Records also showed that Magnum amassed over $81,000 in travel, which included expensive limousine rides and stays at the Waldorf-Astoria and Ritz-Carlton hotels.

Mangum is expected to return to the FAMU faculty after a one year sabbatical.
