Arkansas State Police spokesman Bill Sadler tells the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette is investigating possible fraud at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff that led to the firing of four employees this week.
State police investigators are looking into the case at the request of prosecutor Kyle Hunter.
Few details have been released about the case, though UA System President Don Bobbitt says an internal audit began after a call in spring 2010 to the university’s fraud hot line.

The university says the alleged fraud involves purchasing and payroll issues with UAPB’s Harrold Complex, a group of dormitories that have been renovated in recent years.
UAPB Chancellor Lawrence Davis Jr. declined to answer questions about the audit or identify the employees who were fired.
