Drexel University has agreed to pay the federal government $189,062 after a former professor at the school used federal grant money to make iTunes purchases and to visit strip clubs and sports bars. That professor, Chikaodinaka D. Nwankpa, the head of Drexel’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, agreed to repay $53,328 to the university and resign in lieu of termination. He was also barred from receiving federal contracts for six months.
