A former Delaware State University official admitted she accepted more than $70,000 in bribes for giving students a break on their tuition as part of a scheme that cost the school an estimated $3 million, according to federal prosecutors.
Crystal Martin, a former registrar at the Dover-based school, pleaded guilty to a single felony count of bribery and faces as many as 10 years in prison for taking money to classify out-of-state students as eligible for in-state tuition over a four-year period, the U.S. said Wednesday.
