2nd audit says ex-ASU chancellor may have violated law

(AP) — A second audit report concerning former Arkansas State University Chancellor Tim Hudson, released Thursday, says he may have violated a state law in his efforts to get tuition assistance for an unidentified family member.

The audit report said the state law prohibits a public servant from using his official position to gain special privileges for himself, family members or anyone with whom the official has a "substantial financial relationship."

In one, emails sent from November through January showed Hudson attempting to obtain tuition discounts for a family member to attend the New York Institute of Technology, which Arkansas State is partnering with to bring an osteopathic medical school to Jonesboro.
