A new subpoena issued to N.C. State University seeks more documents about Mary Easley's jobs at N.C. State and shows that investigators wants to know more about deleted e-mail messages from former Chancellor James Oblinger's high priority account.

The subpoena was received this week, according to N.C. State Chancellor James Woodward.

They show that investigators want to know how the former first lady was using her time, reports Andy Curliss. The request demands "all documents relating to vacation days accrued by Mary P. Easley in connection with her employment ... including, without limitation, documents reflecting the days on which she used a vacation day and any compensation she received in lieu of using her accrued vacation days."

The new subpoena also requests all documents relating to the decision in 2008 to offer Mary Easley a new position with a higher salary.

Easley worked at N.C. State fulltime since 2005, first leading a speakers series, and then in an expanded role since 2008 that paid her $170,000 per year. She was fired amid controversy last month.
