More Late Checks at Lon Morris College

JACKSONVILLE – Pay checks have been late again at Lon Morris College. School officials say the tough economic times have caused the problem. Lon Morris College President, Dr. Miles McCall told KETK-TV that employees have known since September that the school would be facing some challenges this month.

He said the school did receive a $90,000 gift Tuesday, which he said would speed up the accounts payable process. And McCall said the rumors that the school may soon be forced to close is simply not true.

In a statement from his office, Dr. McCall said, “Over the past year, we had to overcome a few challenges including delayed payrolls. December is always a time when cash flow is slow and expense increase due in part to increased utilities and maintenance as we approach the winter months.”
