In the segment, NBC Chief Investigative reporter Tony Kovaleski said, \u201cOur investigation shows you how what taxpayers thought they were buying is not getting built.\u201d<\/p>\n

Faculty members in the NBC report said they do not share the administration\u2019s views.<\/p>\n
Charles Heimler, Academic Senate President said, \u201cI feel that NBC news report was a very fair and accurate report of all of the facts.”<\/p>\n
