The president of Wheeling University in West Virginia has been suspended with pay.
Favede became the school's 13th president when she was named to the position in 2019 amid financial difficulties. In 2021, the school was put on probation after the Higher Learning Commission determined it "does not have sufficient fiscal resources to support is operation," noting it relies heavily on subsidies from the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston. The probation was lifted last year, but the organization said it would continue to monitor the school due to concerns about finances, staffing and enrollment.
