This week the University of Central Florida announced it will terminate three faculty members at the Institute for Simulation and Training-- including director Randall Shumaker. That’s after UCF said an investigation revealed they helped a student get a PhD in exchange for grant funding.
The University has named Retired US Navy Captain Wes Naylor as interim director of the Institute while it searches for a permanent director.
For more on what the scandal means for UCF we speak to Orlando Sentinel education reporter Annie Martin.
