Regents mum on audit questioning, guns

AMES — The board that governs Iowa State University isn’t questioning an audit that found President Steven Leath may have improperly stored and transported guns on campus property. The chief auditor for the Board of Regents said Wednesday there’s no proof that Leath sought or obtained written approval to store guns in his mansion, the Knoll, or to take them on a university airplane during hunting trips. The auditor, Todd Stewart, says “memories differed to some degree.”
