Two Tech professors suspected of fraud

Georgia Tech has asked the State Attorney General's office to consider legal action against two professors. The school has not released the names of the faculty membrs, but in a press release the University says its investigation shows that $100,000 are not properly accounted for.

The faculty members are suspected of dual employment and double billing their time to Georgia Tech, falsifying travel reimbursement documents, and other potentially illegal actions.

Tech officials call this an isolated incident and say that it does not reflect the character of the Tech faculty. The University has initiated the tenure revocation process for the two faculty members.

Georgia Tech will work closely with the Attorney General's Office as the investigation continues.
