LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – The University of Arkansas has suspended an electrical
engineering professor without pay after he was arrested on an allegation that he
failed to disclose that he had close ties with the Chinese government and
Chinese businesses. A statement issued Monday by federal prosecutors says
63-year-old Simon S. Ang has been charged with a wire fraud count after failing
to make the disclosure on an application for a NASA grant. A federal complaint
says such materially false representations led to numerous wire messages that
facilitated a scheme to defraud. A university spokeswoman says the school is
cooperating with federal investigators. Jail records do not list an attorney for
the professor.
