A. The Commission on Higher Education may review institutional administrative practices to determine compliance with pertinent statutes, guidelines, rules or regulations. If such a review determines that an institution has failed to comply with Program statutes, guidelines, rules or regulations, the Commission on Higher Education may suspend, terminate, or place certain conditions upon the institution’s continued participation in the Program and require reimbursement to the Program for any funds lost or improperly awarded. B. Upon receipt of evidence that an institution has failed to comply, the Commission on Higher Education shall notify the institution in writing of the nature of such allegations and conduct an audit. C. If an audit indicates that a violation(s) may have occurred or are occurring at any eligible independent or public institution, the Commission on Higher Education shall secure immediate reimbursement from the institution in the event that any funds were expended out of compliance with the provisions of the Act, any relevant statutes, guidelines, rules, and regulations. D. All eligible independent and public institutions that participate in the scholarship enhancement program shall report to CHE the recipients of each enhancement award, per term within the deadlines as determined by CHE. In reporting recipients of the enhancement, institutions shall distinguish recipients by their status in the eligible major, ensuring that education, accounting, math, and science majors are individually identified, in a format as determined by CHE.
