A San Francisco woman was sentenced Thursday to 20 months in prison and ordered to pay at least $1.5 million in restitution for stealing students' tuition payments at the University of California, San Francisco nursing school for more than five years.

Sandra Eileen Le, 55, pleaded guilty in November to three counts of wire fraud committed while she was an academic program officer for the UCSF School of Nursing's post-master's and special studies certificate programs, federal prosecutors said.

Le directed students to make tuition checks payable to her, or to a merchandiser she purchased from, or to leave the checks' payee line blank, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
