President Mike Garrison violated the trust of the faculty, students, staff, and alumni of West Virginia University by failing to prevent the award of an unearned eMBA degree to Heather Bresch after assigning his personal advisors to participate in her degree deliberations.
This award has called the academic integrity of West Virginia University into serious question, has led to unprecedented public outrage and embarrassment to WVU, has compromised major donations, has created rifts in our community, and has jeopardized recruitment of faculty, students, and staff. We doubt that WVU will be able to restore its reputation and badly shaken confidence under his leadership.
MOTION: The Faculty Senate of West Virginia University votes no confidence in President Mike Garrison. For the good of the institution, he must resign or the Board of Governors must require his resignation.
