PSU adviser accuses students of misinformation

Days before graduation, Penn State’s special adviser to the president accused a group of seniors of harming the university and spreading misinformation after the students publicly supported a professor whose resignation criticized her husband.

The students, whom the College of the Liberal Arts selected to help lead this year’s graduation ceremony, wrote a letter to the editor that was published in The Daily Collegian in April. The statement expressed support for Michael West, a professor of African American Studies who publicly resigned as head of the department in early April.
