Ex-president of Morris Brown pleads guilty to embezzling

Inside HigherEd:
Delores Cross, the former president of Morris Brown College, on Monday pleaded guilty to embezzling federal funds when she led the financially troubled historically black college in Atlanta, the Associated Press reported. Cross could face jail time under a plea agreement under which many other charges were dropped. Her lawyers told the AP that she admitted to having made some mistakes in failing to prevent problems, and that she wanted to help the college recover. Lawyers for Cross said they would push for minimal or no jail time because of an unspecified medical condition that Cross has.
