Married OU researchers admit to funding trips, more with grant money

Oklahoman
A married couple who conducted research for the University of Oklahoma has pleaded guilty to misspending $2.1 million in grant money they received from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Juan Lu, 57, of Norman, pleaded guilty this week in federal court to making a false statement regarding the grants. 
Her husband, Shaorong Liu, 58, pleaded guilty on April 21 to using false documents in the same case.
Lu is listed as an affiliate research scientist and Liu is listed as a faculty member on the OU Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry website.
University of Oklahoma responds
“OU takes this matter involving Shaorong Liu as a serious concern,” OU spokeswoman Kesha Keith said in a statement. “Dr. Liu is a tenured professor, currently on administrative leave. The university has cooperated fully with federal authorities and will proceed as appropriate.”
