HeatherGate Goes National

The Chronicle of Higher Education has picked up on the HeatherGate story (aka DegreeGate, MBA Mystery and Mylan-Manchin-Mike G. Morass).

A subscription is required, but here's the teaser:

"Michael S. Garrison was controversial at West Virginia University even before his arrival in September as president. Now he is linked to a developing scandal that raises questions about the ties between the university and the state's power brokers in politics and business."

Update: As The Associated Press and others have noted, the program at issue is an Executive Master of Business Administration, described by AP as "designed for people who continue to work full time while pursuing a degree, primarily through evening classes."
