Rebecca Adams Hill, 56, of Athens, Georgia, has pleaded guilty to racketeering charges admitting she embezzled nearly $220,000 from the University of Georgia's Carl Vinson Institute of Government, where she had been employed as a business manager.

Hill had reportedly worked for the university for 30 years.
