Two college professors are suing West Virginia University and its former general counsel for allegedly violating their civil rights during a scandal over a degree awarded to the former governor’s daughter.
In a complaint filed on Dec. 3 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, the two professors allege that the school, its general counsel, one of its law professors and others “sabotaged” their reputations and violated due process during an academic misconduct proceeding. The proceeding stemmed from their roles in retroactively granting an executive master of business administration degree in 2007 to Heather Bresch, daughter of former Gov. Joe Manchin.
