Former school VP sentenced in embezzlement in Philadelphia


A former vice president of operations at a postsecondary school with campuses in Cherry Hill and Philadelphia will spend two years in prison for embezzling more than a half-million dollars from the for-profit institution, federal prosecutors said.
Diane Bowler, 53, of Sewell, was sentenced Monday in federal court in Camden to 24 months in prison for stealing from Prism Career Institute between 2008 and 2011, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in New Jersey. The school offers training in clerical and health-related services.
Bowler also was sentenced to three years of supervised release and ordered to pay $551,596 in restitution - the amount she stole from Prism, said Matthew Reilly, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office. A Prism spokeswoman declined to comment Monday. Bowler's lawyer, Richard Sparaco, did not return a phone message
