2023-003 Significant Deficiency: National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Report (U.S. Department of Education, William D. Ford Direct Loan Program, ALN #84.268 and Federal Pell Grant Program, ALN #84.063) (Repeat finding of 2022-001) Name of Contact Person Casey Reagan, Registrar, is responsible for ensuring student enrollment status for changes in enrollment are correct. Melissa White, Director of Financial Aid, is responsible for uploading the enrollment status reports to clearinghouse. Corrective Action Planned During the audit, it was noted that Tusculum reported student enrollment status at changes in enrollment incorrectly. The Registrar and the Director of Financial Aid will work in conjecture to determine why the report that is pulled to upload to clearinghouse is not pulling accurate student enrollment status changes in enrollment. Once the error is identified and fixed, financial aid will pull the report and check to ensure everything is pulling correctly. Then, each month as the report is pulled, a random sampling of students will be pulled out of the report to be checked against the enrollment records to ensure that the report continues to pull correctly. Anticipated Completion Date The Registrar and Director of Financial Aid still needs to identify where the error is occurring. It is the goal to have this issue resolved before the end of the spring 2024 semester.

2023-002 Material Weakness: Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) (U.S. Department of Education, William D. Ford Direct Loan Program, ALN #84.268) Name of Contact Person Casey Reagan, Registrar, and Chris Summey, Head of our IT Department, are the Designated Employees in charge of overseeing the GLBA policy. Corrective Action Planned During the audit, it was noted that Tusculum did not fully address all of the requirements as described by 16 CFR 314.4. In addition, the application of the comprehensive information security program was not effectively administered by the University for the 2023 year. In fall 2023, IT, the Registrar, and the Director of Financial Aid met to discuss making sure that all of the new pieces of the GLBA policy were being implemented properly. In December of 2023, IT began the latest vulnerability scan and risk assessment to be in compliance with the risk assessment requirements of the GLBA Policy. This assessment should be completed by the end of spring 2024. The University is also working on updating its GLBA policies and procedures to align with the GLBA Policy. Anticipated Completion Date This process is currently ongoing and it is the University's goal to have ongoing GLBA policies updated and the risk assessment completed before the end of the 2023-2024 academic year.

Finding number: 2023-002 Federal agency: U.S. Department of Education Programs: Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund Assistance Listing #: 84.425F, 84.425L Award year: 2023 Corrective Action Plan: We agree with this audit finding. As stated in our response to the prior year audit’s finding, we did not realize that under the HEERF III Issued Guidelines/(FAQs) that as a grantee we were under an obligation to minimize the time between drawing down funds from G5 and paying obligations incurred by the college/grantee. We had thought that the related guidelines were similar to CARES/HEERF I and we wanted to ensure that we had drawn down the funds timely once they were awarded to the college. We have since coordinated with the Office of Postsecondary Education, United States Department of Education to reimburse them for interest income earned on unspent funds and returned the remaining/unused funds for the HEERF III Institutional Aid portion and the Minority Serving Institutional Funds portion. The College spent $41,007 of the remaining HEERF III Institutional Aid funds during the 90-day HEERF liquidation period after discussion with the United States Department of Education and returned the remaining amount of $70,031 in February 2024. The College returned the HEERF III Minority Serving Institutional Funds remaining amount of $144,014 in February 2024. The interest the College earned and returned to the United States Department of Education on the unspent funds amounted to $125,324, which was paid in two installments in July 2023 and February 2024.
