See COMMITTEE, page 2 Administration calls for fund transfer from Dean's Excellence Account By MICHELLE MARTINEZ Asst. news editor The university administration is transferring $123,674 from the Dean's Excellence Account for business at the UCF Foundation. The account was controlled by former Col lege of Business Dean Richard Huseman. who resigned on Dec. 22. An eight-month investigation of 13 anonymous allegations against Huseman led to the transfer of these funds. The Office of the Comptroller investigated the allegations and issued a report in January to which the administration issued a 22-page response to the comptroller's recommendations. One recommendation in the comptroller's report is that $123,674 be transferred from the Dean's Excellence Account to the university's overhead account. The $123,674 came from a Florida Aviation Management Deviation Associates (FAMDA) contract. FAMDA was formed as a joint venture between UCF and American Systems Corp. FAMDA administers and manages a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) training facility. The administration agreed in its response that funds in the Dean's Excellence Account should be trans ferred to the university's overhead account because it was obtained through research and training activities. 'The administration believes that the FAMDA bonuses are more appropriately deposited in the university's research overhead account," the response stated. The university overhead account helps fund faculty research and research grants and fellowships. Part of the FAMDA money originally deposited in the Dean's Excellence Account has been spent, so theuniversity must de- see FAMDA, page 3 should be reinstated due to the following: *The likelihood of irreparable harm. *The unavailability of an adequate remedy at law. ^Substantial likelihood of success on the merits. "•"Considerations of the public interest. The motion alleges Koenig has been deprived of his first amendment right of speech. It also states the first amendment protects the "right of individuals to associate to further personal, political or other beliefs without unjustified restraint from a university." The document cites Florida Statute 240.235 as a basis of student government's right to allocate and expend activity and service fees.
