NIU officials shut down 'coffee fund'

DEKALB – Northern Illinois University officials have closed a secret bank account reported to have channeled thousands of dollars to university employees.

NIU employees working at a campus physical plant allegedly sold scrap metal to a company that would write checks to the "coffee fund."
