Former Nebraska university administrator fined for theft

Court records say 30-year-old Laviania Thandayithabani (tehn'-daye-uhth-uh-PAH'-naye) pleaded no contest to misdemeanor theft after prosecutors lowered the charge from a felony.

University police say in court documents that they found 17 charges on the university travel portal system from April 2015 through December 2016 totaling more than $11,300.
