2024-001: Reporting This finding is the result of human error when completing the Fiscal Operations Report and Application to Participate (FISAP). An extra digit was added to the tuition/fees charged, changing the tuition and fees charged from $6,880,369 to $68,880,369. This was missed in the review of the FISAP prior to submission.

Additionally, the amount requested for SEOG and FWS is the exact same as requested on the 2022-2023 (for 2024-2025) FISAP, rather than the inflated fair share.
