DaughterGate: The Report (Updated)

Citing "a person familiar with the report," the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports today that "five-member panel has concluded unanimously that Mylan Inc. executive Heather Bresch, daughter of West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin, did not earn a master's of business administration degree from West Virginia University and that administrators acted improperly in granting her the degree retroactively in October."

Update: The newspaper has tweaked its online lede, which had said that WVU administrators "erred."

MetroNews is reporting that "a source who has read the report confirmed" what the newspaper had been told, and that "a source familiar with the report said it is lengthy and includes various recommendations, but the source provided no specifics."

The Associated Press cites the Post-Gazette article in its coverage while also reporting that WVU will release the report Wednesday.
