Surprisingly .edu is the same way. The administration's first impulse in every scandal is to cover it up. I saw scandals from faculty using federally-funded work study staff to babysit their children at their home to the head of personnel using the campus carpenters to work on his house (new main beam in the foundation).
In the first cast the faculty member paid back the state share of the money but not the federal and they called it even. Cover-up complete.
In the second case they'd started termination on the guy who caught them leaving campus with the laminated beam on a flat-bed. He had slipped photos to a buddy and he leaked them to the press. Cover-up failed.
But they will cover up first every damned time.
