MORGANTOWN, W.Va., April 7 (UPI) -- Four business professors and two ex-administrators at West Virginia Virginia face a hearing for allegedly giving an unearned degree to the governor's daughter.
Heather Bresch, an executive at Mylan Inc., allegedly received a master's degree in business administration without fulfilling the requirements for it, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Tuesday. Bresch's father, Joe Manchin, a Democrat, was elected governor in 2004.
Those who face a disciplinary hearing, scheduled for April 27 through May 1, include Gerald Lang, the former provost of the university; his former chief of staff, Craig Walker; and the business school Professors R. Stephen Sears, Cyril Logar, Gerald Blakely and Paul Speaker.
The university appointed an investigative committee last year after a story in the Post-Gazette reported Bresch received an MBA a decade after dropping out of the business school. The committee determined that 22 credits had been added to allow her to receive a degree and grades had been "pulled out of thin air."
