Two Ex-Administrators at Harvard Accused of Embezzling $110,000 Earmarked for Disabled Students

Ah, Harvard University. Only that which is great and honorable emanates from there, right?

Well, not quite. It seems as if a couple of former Harvard administrators did not allow themselves to absorb during their terms of employment the greatness and altruistic tendencies for which the school, and so many of its graduates, are famous.

No, it seems these two were interested only in helping themselves���to a lot.

The ex-administrators in question, Meg DeMarco and Darris Saylors, have been accused of embezzling $110,000 from the school and spending the cash on all sorts of goodies, including phones, computers and tablets.

That���s not, however, a complete list.

As a matter of fact, Saylors is accused, as well, of spending some of the money on���sex toys.

Well, alrighty, then.

As crazy as the story is up to this point, it gets better. It turns out DeMarco and Saylors stole money that the school had set aside for the benefit of disabled students.

Really, people?

Speaking to Boston-area WBZ-TV about the allegations, DeMarco, said, in part, ���It was a big job and I made mistakes.���

Apparently, then, it is the job���s fault that she was driven to steal money from her employer.

According to the Daily Mail, DeMarco allegedly utilized a mobile card reader to move the dough from the school���s account to her own.

DeMarco also said to WBZ-TV that ���I never intended to harm the university.���

According to the Daily Mail article, both Saylors and DeMarco were to be arraigned on Wednesday in Cambridge (Mass.) District Court.
