A former UMBC employee pleaded guilty to stealing $9,800 from the university so he could decorate his Catonsville home with oriental rugs, the attorney general's office announced Tuesday.
Francis P. Nunoo-Quarcoo, former director of the university's visual arts department, created fake invoices for repairs to silk screening equipment, the attorney general's office said, but used the money to buy rugs from an Ellicott City shop. As a director, he had the authority to approve the invoices.
