CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - If embattled West Virginia University President Mike Garrison were to lose his job over a master's degree scandal involving the governor's daughter, he could get up to $255,000 in severance pay.
That's if the Board of Governors were to fire him without cause before June 30.
But Garrison's contract also says he would get nothing if he were fired for cause. Reasons could include dishonesty or incompetence.
The board has said it's unlikely to act on Garrison's future until after June 6, when the president is due to present a corrective action plan.
Faculty have twice demanded Garrison's resignation over his administration's decision to retroactively issue Heather Bresch an executive MBA degree she didn't earn.

Why isn't anyone questioning the governor? Everyone knows that this would not have even happened if it wasn't for the student being the governor's daughter. What angers me is that I am struggling on my teacher's salary and cannot get a break on my student loan. This actually makes a lot of sense. The governor does not hold education high, he thinks his daughter is smart enough without the degree and does not want her to have to suffer on such low pay.

Pinnokio Joe said this morning on the news that his appointed board didn't serve at the will of the governor. Does he believe this or do they just think the people of WV is this stupid? Why else would they give Tinkerbell a degree that she didn't earn or maybe something else is going on with this fairy's tail. I don't believe that Micky Mouse would buy this story or he would have Minie over at WVU with her hand out..
