St. Bonaventure's College, a private school in St. John's, has fired its staff accountant and is alleging "significant misappropriation of college funds," which has prompted a police investigation. It is not something we ever thought would be possible within our walls," reads a statement by the college's board of governors and president. The school's statement said "the school has terminated its staff accountant effective immediately ... [and] the full extent of the activity is not yet known." The RNC is investigating a complaint of fraud. A woman who answered the phone confirmed the emailed statement, but said no other comment would be provided.
