College of Southern Nevada loses $1.7 million grant

LAS VEGAS — Nevada’s largest public college must now make do without a federal grant worth nearly $2 million.

The College of Southern Nevada is no longer receiving funding after U.S. Labor Department officials complained the school was not following allocation rules. The college is also returning $84,000 it received from the Labor Department since October 2014.

The $1.7 million grant was a slice of a nearly $10 million 2014 Labor Department grant awarded to several community colleges in Nevada. The grant was to go toward increasing services for enrolled military veterans seeking to enter the workforce. Now, the College of Southern Nevada’s share will be divided among three community colleges in northern Nevada that had also made a grant request, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Sunday.
