$200,000 for a Concert Without Its Performer

The University of Hawaii has put its athletics director, Jim Donovan, on leave amid concerns about a fund-raising event. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported that $200,000 in athletics department funds were used to plan a concert with Stevie Wonder. One big problem, however, is that Wonder never agreed to appear, raising lots of questions about why and how the funds were used. Department officials did not respond to requests for comment.
