WVU spokeswoman Becky Lofstead said Tuesday that the commission has made preliminary inquiries into last fall's decision to grant Heather Bresch a degree she hadn't earned.
Commission executive director Lewis G. Brewer declined comment Tuesday morning.
Since the scandal broke, WVU President Mike Garrison and other administrators have said they are stepping down from their posts. Most, though, will remain on WVU's payroll. Gov. Joe Manchin hasn't been accused of wrongdoing in the flap.

This does not necessarily include 'honorary degrees' awarded for achievements in life for they can be viewed as 'earned' through those achievements.
