UMKC Chancellor: 'Doing Everything Humanly Possible To Ensure That This Does Not Happen Again'

UMKC’s Bloch School of Management has been under fire since being stripped of its top-25 Princeton Review ranking for fabricating data to boost the school’s standing. Now, the school’s No. 1 ranking of its entrepreneurship program is also being questioned. UMKC Chancellor Leo Morton apologizes to students, faculty, and staff and speaks with Steve Kraske about the impact on the university and where it goes from here.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers. Reach me at steve@kcur.org or on Twitter @stevekraske.
Kansas City needs journalists who show up not just on people’s worst days, but on their best ones — and the boring ones in between. As KCUR’s news director, I build relationships across the metro, so our newsroom can bring you critical information when times are tough, and seek out moments of joy to celebrate.
