Well done!

Congratulations! A&T has had clean financial books for two consecutive years. The school's financial debt began in the '70s and was so bad at one point that a State Auditor said he could not audit A&T's bopks. It was then that the school began to receive negative publicity about finances. Checkbooks were unbalanc- ed. Funds were improperly spent. Bills were unpaid.
