The Charleston Gazette: WVU
On Wednesday, West Virginia University faculty called a rare meeting of all 1,418 full-time teachers. Those who attended voted 565-39 for WVU President Mike Garrison to resign over the school's retroactively awarding an unearned master's degree to Gov. Joe Manchin's daughter.
Charleston Daily Mail: Short takes
WHY bother having a presidential primary in West Virginia? Because it reveals what West Virginians think, which matters.
War wounds
WHEN U.S. soldiers return home after fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, thousands of them face personal torments and mental health disorders.
Costs
LAST year, Workforce West Virginia tallied a "subsistence budget" to show the minimum amount a person must earn to live without public assistance. A single adult needed $15,800. An adult with one child needed $24,500.

THE election is over. The ballots are counted. Why are these signs still littering roadsides and yards?

WEST Virginians waited 48 years to be part of the presidential nomination process, and, like they did in 1960, they voted in a landslide and delivered a national message. But there are significant differences between the two primaries of 1960 and 2008.
Sen. Barack Obama
THIS IS a defining moment. At a time when our nation is at war and our American dream is slipping away, we cannot settle for the status quo. In this election, West Virginia can stand for change.

DEAR HILLARY, Thank you for not quitting the race. Thank you for not breaking down, like Eight Belles did in the Derby. Thank you for giving West Virginians a choice, when so easily you could have done the graceful thing women are supposed to do, which is not fight at all. And thereby written the entire state off as "no-count." Think of the dozens of no-hopers, all men, who jumped in, then jumped out of the race. The Senator from Big Banksters comes to mind, Joe Biden.
Jayne Armstrong
THIS IS the hardest letter I have ever written, but I know I am doing the right thing. As a former West Virginia University student body president and an active alumna, I can no longer stay silent and watch my beloved alma mater's reputation ruined.
Robert Rupp
THE attention on the Democratic presidential primary and statewide races for the Supreme Court and secretary of state has overshadowed the contests for state legislative nominations.
Some secretive sects suffer tragedy
FRINGE Mormon polygamous wives, wearing antique clothing and hairdos from the 1800s, appear in news photos daily. Americans are puzzled by the mysterious Yearning For Zion Ranch, a commune of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, where Texas authorities seized 437 children.
Election presents an opportunity
LONG before Barack Obama won Iowa, I assured a colleague that the Illinois senator would win the Democratic nomination for president. My certainty wasn't based on anything scientific, just a hunch from the past.
Election Day, and justices for all
MENIS Ketchum's lead in a Supreme Court election poll this week was slight, but I was surprised to learn that he was leading at all.
Garrison believable, but still at fault
SO, IT turned out much as we all surmised. WVU did manufacture a degree for the governor's daughter, a high-ranking employee of a big donor.
Beat up, but still chugging along
MY mower turns 10 this summer, which is the equivalent of 100 in human years.

- Resignation the only choice for Garrison
- Edwards an asset to university
- U.S. lying to itself over role in Iraq
