Dear Faculty Senate Members:

I am writing you as a concerned parent, WVU Alumni, and WV resident in
reference to the Heather Bresch fiasco. I cannot believe that President
Garrison is using the Business and Economics Dean and the Provost as
scapegoats for his actions, I think that is a cowardly act on his part and
he needs to be brought to the carpet for his actions! For him to say he had
no involvement in the Bresch matter is an insult to my intelligence along
with everyone elses! In a matter that is this important, no one can believe
that the PRESIDENT of a university would turn it over to people under him!

In every syllabus there is a section on Academic Integrity. In short, it
discusses how each student and faculty/staff member is expected to follow
the highest level of integrity in their actions in the classroom. President
Garrison did not follow this "creed". How can you expect students follow
through with Academic Integrity when the PRESIDENT of the University can't
follow it himself? What message are you sending to potential
students/parents of WVU? To former students? To potential EMPLOYERS? To
financial supporters of this institution? The good name of WVU lies in the
balance at this time....thus in your hands! Vote NO CONFIDENCE in Mike
Garrison and push hard for his resignation. Help to restore Integrity to
the WVU name.

Thank you,

Robert J. Connor
