CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- An assistant dean at UNC-Charlotte has been arrested and charged with embezzlement.

Mecklenburg County jail records show Ashley Postell was arrested Tuesday by UNCC campus police and charged with six counts of embezzlement.

Postell is Assistant Dean of Students for Greek Life at UNCC.

Campus officials could not be reached this morning, and Postell could not be reached.

Jail records show Postell, 27, of Charlotte, was arrested around midday Tuesday. She was charged with three counts of embezzlement by a public officer and three counts of embezzlement of state property. She was released on bond.

UNCC officials say Postell has been placed on suspension.

The assistant dean over Greek Life is responsible for overseeing the activities of sororities and fraternities on campus. At many colleges and universities, the person in that role also handles financial affairs for Greek organizations.

The UNCC Web site shows Ashley Postell came to the university from Dallas in July 2006.
