Monroe degree report filed

Writing for the Richmond Times-Dispatch Michael Martz reports:

Virginia Commonwealth University today said it found 37 instances of exceptions made to university policy in granting an undergraduate degree last year to Richmond Police Chief Rodney Monroe. The university did not cite the specific examples in a report issued today to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and released to the public. However, it said Monroe had satisfied only 15 of 28 requirements for his bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies.

As with previous reports on this matter, we learn more than we knew before, but with what’s come out today still does not name the names. Since VCU is a public school, it would seem the public is entitled to know not only what happened, but who is culpable and what’s been done about it.

  1. I agree with you. We need to know the specifics. This is a public school. And some of these folks make enormous salaries - paid by the taxpayers. I am reminded over and over again of situations where the leaders tried to sweep a scandal under the rug to no avail. The truth eventually comes out and the organization would have been much much better off had it come clean in the first place. This situation, in my opinion, won’t be resolved until full disclosure is practiced.
