West Virginia University Faculty Demands School President Ouster Again

by Associated Press , May 16, 2008

Faculty senator Judith Sedgeman said that the scandal has supplanted the school's reputation as a party school as its biggest PR problem.

“Now we are known as an institution without academic integrity run by political cronies who do whatever it takes” to take care of their friends, she said.

Also at the meeting, the faculty passed a resolution demanding a re-evaluation of the composition of the Board of Governors to increase its “transparency, representativeness and accountability.” Another motion called for changes to the process of appointing department heads, while a resolution asking the legislature to investigate the scandal was referred to the Faculty Senate.

Provost Gerald Lang and business school Dean R. Stephen Sears have since resigned from their administrative posts to return to teaching, with minimal salary cuts. There have been no other disciplinary actions or reassignments.
