If she’s a lying scumbag about her degree how can her subordinates believe anything she says at Mylan?

This is most disheartening and disgusting to those of us who have worked hard, borrowed money, and sacrificed time with family to complete a graduate education so that we can be given opportunities in leadership positions, only to find out that those with connections can lie, take shortcuts and cheat the system to get ahead.

Most of us can look around our own institutions and organizations and see favored hires, and people in positions due to marrying the CEOs daughter or dating the boss’s son, but watching this dirty little game play out with the aid and assistance of high level academic officers disturbs me more than the entirety of Ms Bresch’s deception.

By now it should not be shocking to anyone that people of privilege continue to think they play by different rules (we continue to see evidence that they do). It is sad, however, that people hired to protect academic integrity are so easily swayed by political power and influence, whether real or perceived.

She’ll keep her position because her dad is the governor of WV and the two families (Gov. Manchin and Mylan Puskar) are long time friends. She was also on the crew that helped President Garrison get hired, a man that lobbied for many of the businessmen that make up the WVU Board of Governors. Also, the Manchin’s and many of the Board of Governors can be linked through business dealings to one another. Also, Mylan is WVU’s biggest financial benefactor (donor). They are all connected at the top, so nothing significant will probably happen.

So what happens now?

Does this mean that she’s not really qualified to hold her post?
Has she gained a job through false pretences?

or maybe noone knows!
