Former LSU employees accused of stealing $12K from bursar’s office

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Two women are accused of stealing over $12,000 from the LSU Bursar’s Office following the discovery of missing funds during a February audit.

The Bursar’s Office handles student billing and fee payments. According to LSU Police, the audit revealed discrepancies in two separate cash bags, each assigned to a different employee.

During an interview, Yetiv Knight admitted to taking the money from her bag to pay her son’s bail. She allegedly attempted to return the cash after learning of the audit and was found holding a wad of money, according to police.

In a separate case, Tonya Harvey reported on Feb. 25 that her bag contained $10,169.45. The next day, auditors found just $13.50 inside. Detectives noted on surveillance footage that Harvey’s bag appeared significantly smaller than the others. She also called in sick the day after submitting the bag. A total of $9,655.95 was determined to be missing from her account.

Harvey is in a pre-trial intervention program for first-time offenders, according to court documents. Both women are out on bond, and no trial date has been set.

LSU officials confirmed that both employees have since been terminated.
