A former University of Tennessee College of Law employee is facing wire fraud charges after he allegedly deposited $70,000 in donations intended for the university into his own account, WATE reports. An unsealed indictment allegedly states that Andrew Shafer was charged with two counts of felony wire fraud on March 15. Shafer joined the law school in August 2020 to lead fundraising efforts. He left in March 2022. He also apparently worked in alumni and development roles at the university between 2007 and 2012. The two transactions are believed to have happened in the fall of 2021.
