Record-Journal-"The University of Connecticut's $1 billion construction program is drawing more scrutiny

Record-Journal: "The University of Connecticut's $1 billion construction program is drawing more scrutiny following a report that contractors increased their donations to the university's foundation after winning building contracts.

Builders who were awarded millions of dollars worth of contracts either began donating or substantially increased their donations to the University of Connecticut Foundation shortly after getting the work, The Hartford Courant reported Sunday.

The companies and the foundation's president said there was no connection between and contracts and the donations, some of which totaled $100,000 a year."
