A former Seton Hall University professor was arrested yesterday and charged
with stealing more than $575,000 from the school's radio station, where he
was the general manager and faculty adviser, the Essex County prosecutor
said. The professor, Michael A. Collazo, 58, was fired from the university
in 2004 after a university audit of the station, the prosecutor, Paula T.
Dow, said. Prosecutors claim that Mr. Collazo took money from the station,
WSOU-FM ( 89.5), and pocketed funds from unauthorized leases of the
station's subfrequencies to local broadcasters. Mr. Collazo was arrested
yesterday at his home in Hampton.
