Seattle Post-Intelligencer: WSU releases report on provost dispute
Washington State University officials on Thursday released a confidential internal report detailing a tense, hostile senior staff meeting that ended in profanity and a hallway shoving match.
The report, written by Senior Assistant Attorney General Antoinette Ursich, includes conflicting e-mails written to WSU President Elson Floyd and interview notes from conversations with everyone in the room when Steven Hoch’s provost career at WSU began to unravel.
Ursich said witnesses described Hoch’s behavior at a Sept. 10 staff meeting as “disrespectful, rude, condescending and arrogant.” The meeting veered out of control during a discussion of a proposed new budgeting model for the university.
