A 2026 audit revealed major financial misconduct at Utah State University under former president Elizabeth Cantwell, including a $300K renovation and improper contracts, prompting reforms under new president Brad Mortensen.
A state audit released January 30, 2026, found widespread financial misconduct at Utah State University under former President Elizabeth Cantwell, including a presidential office renovation that soared from $10,000 to nearly $300,000, excessive travel expenses, and improper contract awards without competitive bidding.
The report cited repeated violations of state law, weak oversight, and a culture of favoritism, with millions in contracts awarded without proper review.
The university still owes the full renovation cost, and state funding remains withheld.
New President Brad Mortensen, in office less than three months, has accepted all 26 audit recommendations and pledged reforms to restore accountability and focus on student service.
