Alabama School Board Votes to Accept Retirement of Kennedy and Rogers

by Associated Press , June 28, 2007

Categories:

Former interim two-year chancellor Thomas Corts arranged the system's investigation at Shelton State last fall and placed Rogers on paid leave while they probed allegations that Rogers received money from a fraud scheme.

Those allegations surfaced after Robert Nix, former Alabama Fire College board member, agreed to plead guilty to federal charges of money laundering, wire fraud and theft from a government agency.

The Fire College is based at Shelton State. Nix said in his plea agreement that the school's president received $11,000 worth of furniture for his home and $14,000 to pay a personal cell phone bill from money Nix doled out from the Alabama Fire College Foundation.

Rogers has said the Fire College's foundation did provide a cell phone package, but he did not know about the furniture purchases.
