Connecticut's Fairfield University cannot account for $120,000 intended for a school in Haiti. The money is part of $776,000 raised from 1997 to 2008 at the Jesuit school for what was called Project Pierre Toussaint.
The university released the results February 17 following a five-month investigation. The report detailed problems with the handling of the money by a former chaplain.
Stanley A. Twardy Jr., a former U.S. attorney for Connecticut and a partner in Day Pitney, a Stamford law firm hired to investigate the school's financial involvement in Project Pierre Toussaint, said funding at the chapel was autonomous.
[The chaplain] told donors he cashed their checks, rather than wiring or otherwise sending the money to Haiti, because the "banking system is so rudimentary we need money down there," Twardy said.
