Second Professor Resigns Due To UMKC Ranking Scandal

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A second professor has resigned from the University of Missouri-Kansas City after an audit found that its business school knowingly submitted false data when applying for rankings and awards from national organizations.

The 15,000-student university said Friday that John Norton’s exodus as associate director of its Regnier Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation will take effect March 15.

“John has always worked hard on behalf of our students and was dedicated to their success and to the success of our program,” Donnelly said.
