Several Virginia Commonwealth University administrators are stepping down following an investigation into the improper awarding of a bachelor’s degree to Richmond’s former police chief.

University officials aren’t linking the resignations to the investigation.

Robert Holsworth is resigning as interim dean of the College of Humanities and Sciences. Michael Pratt is stepping down as interim director of the L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs and director of the VCU Center for Public Policy. Both will remain on the faculty.

Both were critical of the investigation into the improper awarding of a degree to Rodney Monroe, who is now police chief in Charlotte, N.C.

S. Jon Steingass resigned as dean of VCU’s University College, which awarded Monroe the degree, despite his not having met requirements for transfer students.
