Time to Go, Mike

As someone who spent seven years in Morgantown, obtained two degrees from WVU, and is still paying for the last one - it's time for WVU President Mike Garrison to resign. There have been calls for his resignation ever since the report a few weeks ago that the University awarded a degree to the Governor's daughter that she didn't earn.

Since then, the faculty has voted overwhelmingly (twice) for Garrison to resign. Garrison has been steadfast and denied being involved in any wrongdoing. While that may be true, abstaining from wrongdoing isn't the only duty of a University president. Part of the job is maintaining the confidence of your employees. When it's so clear that that confidence is lacking - and, to be fair, maybe is was never there in the first place - something's got to be done.

In this case, the only real solution is for Garrison to go. Do it soon, Mike. While my educational credentials still carry some weight, OK?
