JACKSONVILLE – The Texas Attorney General’s office is investigating missing funds from Lon Morris College in Jacksonville. The $1.3 million comes from an endowment that should have gone to Sam Houston State University after the Jacksonville school declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July. At the center of the investigation is former school president Dr. Miles McCall. He headed the college from 2005 until his resignation this past May. Dr. McCall was questioned this week about the missing funds. Hal Morris with the State Attorney General’s Office says, at this time, they do not consider the money stolen.
