An investigation by California Attorney General Jerry Brown into fundraising practices at California State University, Stanislaus has cleared its charitable foundation of any violations of law or misuse of funds.
Brown did say Friday that the CSU Stanislaus Foundation had exercised inadequate oversight of its assets, and the foundation has agreed to exercise tighter control of its fundraising operations:
CSU Stanislaus officials say they are already working to implement many of the corrective actions required by the attorney general.The contract between the foundation and Gov. Palin's agent, the Washington Speakers Bureau, stipulated that speaking fees for the bureau's clients could not be revealed.
Brown agreed to investigate the foundation at the request of state Senator Leland Yee, a Democrat from San Francisco.
His office investigated how the foundation spent its money, as well as the university's refusal to turn over records related to Sarah Palin's appearance at a recent fundraiser.
