The state Attorney General’s Office was leading the investigation.
Brattleboro
The college bought the approximately 50,000-square-foot building on Vernon Street for $3.5 million in 2000.
Marlboro President Kevin Quigley says they want to relocate the graduate school in a way that makes the building more attractive for sale.
Quigley told the Brattleboro Reformer the reasons for the relocation are “more institutional” than financial. The nine miles or so between the two campuses can sometimes make it difficult to connect the students.
The graduate school move is expected to take place in the winter or early spring.
Marlboro has about 100 students in its graduate school.
Bennington, Vt.
The Rutland Herald reported that the Vermont Veterans Home in Bennington is using media advertisements and visiting hospitals in Rutland County to try to reach veterans.

An information kiosk was also held at the Rutland Shopping Plaza.
