Utah State University now looking for possible fraud at all satellite campuses after employee paid $157k without working

“Included in this review are possible improvements to employee oversight, best management practices of the Custom Fit program and other funded programs, and above all how best to serve our students across Utah,” the school wrote in a news release. That’s despite several employees repeatedly trying to report and have the problem of his absence addressed since at least summer 2022. They submitted complaints to the school’s HR office and several administrators, to officials at the Utah System of Higher Education and to federal investigators.

The school hasn’t commented, though, on the reports that several employees submitted early on and if it will correct how quickly it addresses those. After those, Agner was fired. His direct boss, Ethan Migliori, remains in his position and currently oversees the same Custom Fit program. Migliori’s boss, Jamie Cano, was stripped of his administrative duties as an associate department head; he is the one who lived with Agner. Cano then quit before the school moved to fire him through a lengthy process for tenured faculty. Bryan Warnick, the department head over technical education, has also remained in his position.
