ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) - The president of a South Carolina technical college has been suspended after an audit.

‘The Times and Democrat’ of Orangeburg reported Tuesday that Denmark Technical College President Dr. John K. Waddell has been suspended without pay.

The audit has been turned over to the State Law Enforcement Division.

Denmark Tech Area Commission Chairman James Hayes says the state audit was requested last month because commissioners were concerned about some things they heard.

State tech board spokeswoman Kelly Steinhilper says the audit found some administrative irregularities. She would not elaborate.

Waddell has been president since 2007. He did not immediately return a phone message.

Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College Vice President of Academic Affairs Walter Tobin Jr. is taking over as acting president.
