Why wait?

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Though embarrassed and frustrated, students and faculty leaders at West Virginia University offered measured responses Thursday to a report that administrators gave Gov. Joe Manchin’s daughter a master’s degree she didn’t earn.

Faculty Senate Chairman Steve Kite said he’ll raise the matter at an Executive Committee meeting Monday, but that group will wait to see what corrective measures are proposed by President Mike Garrison before issuing demands for disciplinary action.

What's to wait for? A group of high-ranking WVU officials awarded a degree to a person who didn't earn it, simply because of her connections. They took her word for it that she earned the degree when she offered no proof. Why are these people still working at WVU?

And why is the Board of Governors allowing Garrison to discipline people when he, too, bears part of the blame?
