Montana State University in Bozeman is looking into grants directed by Michael Vogel, an Extension Service housing specialist, according to a university news release Wednesday.
The university is conducting a compliance review of the grants in response to a complaint, the release said.
The review is ongoing, and no conclusion has been reached.
“These are matters related to compliance of grant requirements,” the release said. “We have no evidence that funds have been misappropriated.”
Information about what the grants were and what agency granted them was not available Wednesday.
Vogel remains on the MSU and Extension staff, a university spokesperson said.
