A longtime Texas Christian University employee pleaded guilty Tuesday to stealing funds from a program for low-income students.
Margaret Faust, who served as assistant director of the Upward Bound program for 18 years, admitted to depositing $1,600 intended for education initiatives into her personal checking account in early 2015, according to federal court documents.
The program funds projects to increase graduation and post-secondary education rates for high-school students whose parents are low-income or don't hold four-year degrees.
