NC public university to repay lenders

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - A public university in Winston-Salem says it will repay the government and lenders more than $1 million for loans and grants given to ineligible students.
    The Winston-Salem Journal reported Monday that Winston-Salem State University said it would repay $1.15 million over the next three years.
    A report from a review team issued in September said the university owes $710,855 to the U.S. Department of Education and $437,901 to lenders of subsidized loans. The review was prompted in 2006 by a tip to the Department of Education.
    At issue were students who got aid and then dropped out but didn’t tell the university.
