Florida State University's president said yesterday that the school doesn't know all the details of an academic cheating scandal that has already resulted in two employees being fired.

President T.K. Wetherell reported the findings in a letter to the NCAA this week that a six-month investigation by the school revealed that at least 23 Florida State athletes were implicated in cheating on tests.

"I don't like what we saw," Wetherell said during a break at the quarterly meeting of the school's Board of Governors. "It bothers us obviously that faculty or athletic staff people would have done what they did."

Provost Larry Abele explained that a part-time tutor gave students answers while they were taking tests. He said a full-time athletic department employee filled in answers on quizzes and typed papers for students, in some cases students who weren't even there.

"My real concern is what I don't know at this point," Wetherell said. . . .
