MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - A West Virginia University official who was reassigned to a different position in the wake of a degree scandal will earn $50,000 less than he did in his old job.

Bill Case began working at the WVU Health Sciences as health policy and research information director on Tuesday. Health Sciences spokeswoman Amy Johns said Case will earn $85,595 in his new job.

Case earned $135,000 in his former job as President Mike Garrison's chief communications officer. Garrison is stepping down Sept. 1.

Case and two other key staffers, chief of staff Craig Walker and WVU attorney Alex Macia, attended a key meeting last fall at which administrators decided to award Heather Bresch a degree that investigators later concluded she had not earned.

Geeezzzz, I bet he'll be pinching pennies now. I just feel soooooo sorry for him. Only making $85,595. It would take me 2 1/2 years to make that amount. PATHETIC!!! Hope he feels fortunate to still have a job.

he should have lost his job. but government jobs are the only ones for life no matter what crime you have done.

He should be thanking God he still has a job, and one that pays more than most of the folks in this state earn. Time to trade in that Lexus for a Hyundai, Billy Boy!
