A University of Alberta student allegedly embezzled $27,745 from the Business Students’ Association. Students in the Faculty of Business received an e-mail Monday informing them that it was possible because of a "bank error in setting up the ATM card privileges," reports the Edmonton Journal. The e-mail also says "a significant portion" of the money has been repaid.
