Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 806

The university issued a clear statement: Carlson's academic standing would remain unaffected by the whistleblowing incident.

He was free to choose a new advisor in line with his research interests, and the administration promised to actively mediate, offering both parties opportunities to communicate and coordinate.

The second point addressed the incident where a graduate student, with ties to Edna, had swapped another group's project report during a competition. After a thorough investigation, the allegations were confirmed.

The individuals involved were removed from their posts, and the graduate student, Miss Moore, was expelled immediately.

Thirdly, during the course of the investigation, the university uncovered evidence that Edna had accepted bribes during admissions. The student implicated in this matter, Hertha Sherwood, was also expelled.

Finally, the administration expressed deep regret and sincere apologies for Edna Moore's gross academic misconduct and the resulting negative impact on the university's reputation.

They solemnly pledged to learn from this incident, conduct a comprehensive review, close any loopholes, and improve their processes, reaffirming their commitment to upholding a healthy academic environment and a culture of integrity.

"At least you know that much!"
