Roanoke Times: Radford University provost to step down
Radford University Provost Wil Stanton will resign, effective Dec. 31, according to an e-mail from Stanton to the RU community.
Stanton said he will remain at the university as a full-time professor in the college of business.
In a letter to the university community, Stanton said he regrets the decision to leave the provost’s position.
Over the past two months, Stanton has been embroiled in controversy.
On Oct. 22, the university’s faculty senate took a “no confidence” vote against Stanton and asked President Penelope Kyle to replace him.
Some faculty have accused Stanton, the school’s chief academic officer, of refusing to take a stand in favor of the faculty during a series of controversial administrative decisions, including an expedited review program last spring that eliminated programs.
