College of DuPage financial officials fired

The College of DuPage’s top two finance officials were fired Wednesday for poor money management at the publicly funded college, allegations that their attorneys said were politically motivated and without merit.

Treasurer Thomas Glaser and Controller Lynn Sapyta, who have been on paid leave since June, were the first top administrators fired for cause since a new majority took over the Glen Ellyn-based school’s board of trustees in April. They each were provided nine reasons for their terminations, including violating the school’s investment practices and accounting problems tied to the college’s high-end restaurant.

“We are going to be embarking on a search for highly capable individuals, and it is part of the new era for the College of DuPage,” said Katharine Hamilton, who was elected chairwoman by the new majority. President Robert Breuder remains on paid administrative leave pending termination proceedings.
