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.
