DALLAS (AP) - The U.S. Education Department confirmed Thursday that it has fined Tarleton State University $137,500 for failing to accurately report campus crime statistics.

University spokeswoman Liza Benedict says Tarleton State would appeal the fine.

Federal law requires colleges and universities to timely disclose information about campus crime and security policies. The federal inquiry came in the wake of stories in the Tarleton State campus newspaper, The J-TAC.

Tarleton State is in Stephenville, about 95 miles southwest of Dallas.
