College funded a life of luxury with fees fiddle and must now repay 9m pounds sterling

Article Abstract:

An inquiry by the Further Education Funding Council has revealed that Halton College in Widnes, England, has been involved in a large-scale fraud. The college claimed government funding for teaching that did not take place, and also made claims for teaching students who lived in Scotland and were therefore not eligible for grants in England. The college must now repay 9 million pounds sterling in government fees, and more than 170 staff will be made redundant.
