Education (Secretary) intends to repay to the Northwest Indian
College (NWIC) an amount that represents approximately 57 percent of
the amount of funds recovered by the Department of Education
(Department) as a result of final audit determinations for audit
findings covering fiscal years 1999-2001. The Department's recovery of
funds followed resolution of the audit disallowances identified in a
September 30, 2004 Program Determination Letter (PDL) issued by the
Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) for the period of July
1, 1999 through November 26, 2001. The PDL sought recovery of $316,096.
On December 1, 2004, NWIC appealed the monetary findings in the
September 30, 2004 PDL to the Department's Office of the Administrative
Law Judges (OALJ). Following discussions and exchanges of information
between the parties, on March 27, 2006, the parties entered into a
Repayment Agreement (Agreement) that fully resolved the issues in the
proceeding and under which NWIC agreed to repay the Department
$316,096. The NWIC has repaid the full amount in accordance with the
Agreement.
