INVESTIGATOR REPORTER PAUL VAN
OSDOL IS HERE WITH ALL THE
DETAILS.
REPORTER: ACTION NEWS
INVESTIGATES FOUGHT FOR PUBLIC
RECORD THAT SHOW THE CCAC
FOUNDATION SPENT MORE THAN
$8,000 ON CHOCOLATES LIKE THESE
IN THE PAST TWO YEARS.
OUR INVESTIGATION ALSO FOUND
OTHER SPENDING THAT RAISED ALARM
BELLS WIT STUDENTS.
THE DUQUESNE CLUB IS KNOWN AS A
GATHERING SPOT FOR TITANS OF
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY, AND NOW
THE PRESIDENT OF CCAC.
RECORD OBTAINED BY ACTION NEWS
INVESTIGATES SHOW THAT IN
JANUARY THE CCAC FOUNDATION PAI
NEARLY $10,000 SO PRESIDENT
QUINTON BULLOCK COULD JOIN THE
PRESTIGIOUS CLUB.
HOW DOES THAT PEN ABOUT IT
STUDENTS AT CCAC?
>> I THINK THAT IS A VERY GOOD
QUESTION TO ASK.
IT'S A FORUM FOR MEETING
LEADERS, BUSINESSES, THAT CAN
CONTRIBUTE AND SOME DAY INVEST
IN CCAC.
IT'S A GREAT INVESTMENT.
REPORTER: HOW HAS THAT
INVESTMENT PAID OFF FOR THE
STUDENT HERE AT CCAC?
>> ITS AO OPENED DOORS.
REPORTER: THE FOUNDATION ALSO
PAID $15,000 TO A PITTSBURGH
PUBLIC THEATER IN THE PAST TWO
YEARS.
10,000 FOR BULLOCK TO BE ON THE
THEATER BOARD AND 5,000 FOR A
THEATER FUND-RAISER.
HOW DOES THAT BENEFIT THE
COLLEGE.
>> AGAIN, IT'S A CHANCE TO MEET
WITHIN -- IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME
TO BE A PART OF DISTINGUISHED
BOARDS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
REPORTER: THEN THERE ARE THE
CHOCOLATES, LOTS OF CHOCOLATES.
RECORDS SHOW THE FOUNDATION
SPENT ABOUT $8,000 ON CHOCOLATES
IN THE PAST TWO YEARS.
THAT AMOUNTS TO 400 BOXES LIKE
THIS ONE.
THE CHOCOLATE COMPANY IS OWNED
BY A MAN WHO OWNS A CATERING
COMPANY PAID 28,000 BY THE
FOUNDATION IN THE PAST TWO
YEARS.
HE WAS A FOUNDATION BOARD MEMBER
UNTIL LAST YEAR.
THERE HAS ACTUALLY BEEN MO
THAN $8,000 SPENT ON CHOCOLATES.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THAT?
NO, I HAVE NOT PURCHASED ANY
CHOCOLATES.
REPORTER: THE COLLEGE PR
DIRECTOR INTERRUPTED AND SAID
THE FOUNDATION CHAIRMAN COULD
ANSWER THAT QUESTION, SO WE
ASKED HIM.
HOW DO THE STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM
SPENDING MORE THAN $8,000 ON
CHOCOLATES?
>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW THE
SPECIFICS BEHIND THOSE $8,000 IN
CHOCOLATES.
REPORTER: CCAC SPOKESPERSON
LATER SAID THE CHOCOLATES ARE
USED AS THANK YOU GIFTS T
DONORS.
HE DECLINED OUR REQUEST FOR AN
ON CAMERA INTERVIEW AND SAID HE
IS A HUGE SUPPORTER AND VERY
INVOLVED IN THE ACTION BY THE
COLLEGE.
FOR HIM TO MAKE A COUPLE OF
THOUSAND ON CHOCOLATES EVERY
YEAR IS NOTHING.
THEY TOLD ACTION NEWS
INVESTIGATES THEY WERE SURPRISED
TO HEAR ABOUT FOUNDATION MONEY
BEING SPENT ON CHOCOLATES AND
CLUB MEMBER SHIPS?
THAT IS KIND OF SHOCKING, I'M
REALLY SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT.
>> I DON'T SEE ANY POINT TO THAT
WHEN THERE IS MULTIPLE STUDENTS
AT THIS CAMPUS AND OTHER CCAC
LOCATIONS THAT CAN ACTUALLY USE
THAT MONEY.
REPORTER: PLENTY OF CCAC
STUDENTS ARE STRUGGLING NOT ONLY
TO PAY TUITION BUT ALSO TO EAT.
THAT'S WHY THE SCHOOL SET UP
FOOD BANKS AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS,
INCLUDING THIS ONE AT THE BOY'S
CAMPUS.
THERE WERE NO CHOCOLATES AT THE
FOOD BANK BUT PLENTY OF OTHER
STAPLES FOR HUNGRY STUDENTS.
STUDENT CARMEN MILLER WELCOMES
THE FOOD BANK BUT SHE WISHES
THERE WERE NO SCHOLARSHIPS
AVAILABLE.
>> I KNOW I WAS ELIGIBLE FOR
ONLY LIKE TWO AND I'M AN HONOR
STUDENT.
REPORTER: ALICIA ALLEN WAS ONLY
ABLE TO G A $550 SCHOLARSHIP,
ENOUGH TO COVER ONE CLASS.
SHE I FACING $7,000 IN TUITION
BILLS.
PROVIDING THE STUDENTS WITH MORE
ASSISTANCE IS PROBABLY GOING TO
BE THE BEST IN THE LONG RUN.
REPORTER: WHEN YOU HAVE STUDENTS
WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO PUT FOOD
ON THE TABLE DOES IT CONCERN YOU
THAT YOU MAY BE SENDING A
NEGATIVE PERCEPTION BY ADDING A
MEMBERSHIP AT THE DUQUESNE CLUB.
>> HOW DO WE KNOW THAT STUDENTS
ARE STRUGGLING TO PUT FOOD ON
THE TABLE.
REPORTER: BECAUSE YOU HAVE FOOD
BANKS ON THAT YOU ARE CAMPUS.
STUDENTS SAY THE FOUNDATION'S
GOAL IS TO RAISE MORE MONEY FOR
SCHOLARSHIPS.
THE MOST RECENT I.R.S. FILING
SHOWS $147,000 SPENT ON
NONPITTSBURGH PROMISE
SCHOLARSHIPS IN 2015.
RECORD SHOW THE FOUNDATION SPE
NEARLY $200,000 ON AN OUTSIDE PR
FIRM DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS.
THE PR FIRM WAS HIRED FOR CCAC'S
50th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
LAST YEAR CULMINATING IN A GALA
BALL AT THE WYNDHAM.
WOULD THAT BE BETTER SPENT ON
SCHOLARSHIPS FOR STRUGGLING
STUDENTS.
>> ON THE SURFACE YOU COULD LOOK
AT IT THAT WAY PAUL BUT
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SPEND THAT
MONEY TO GENERATE MORE MONEY
THAT CAN BE SPENT ON THE
STUDENTS.
REPORTER: CCAC SAYS IT RAISED
MONEY FOR 33 SCHOLARSHIPS DURING
THE 50th ANNIVERSARY LAST
YEAR.
OF KEEP IN MIND THE COLLEGE HAS
26,000 STUDENTS, MANY OF THEM
