After eight months of investigation, negative publicity and a rift that divided faculty, staff and students at Haskell Indian Junior College, Gerald Gipp has been cleared of all alleged improprieties and reinstated as president.
But he won't be staving
Gipp has asked that he be reassigned to another post at the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
"I reluctantly came to the conclusion that it would be in Haskell's best interests for the school to have new leadership," Gipp said in a prepared statement.
Brad Keena, spokesman for the BIA in Washington, said he would be chosen before Haskell's fall.
semester began.
The investigation began when Don Bread, a Haskell teacher, filed a complaint that Gipp ordered his assistant dean of instruction to withdraw the course. The failing grade given to Gipp's daughter in 1997.
Bread said his superior changed the grade to a "D" without his approval after Denise Gipp completed a special summer session to challenge the grade.
Charles W. Murphy, chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribue, said the complaint was nothing more than a personal and political attack on Gipp.
"You need to know . . . that the efforts to discredit and run Dr. Gipp are no more than political and personalized attacks. They are also part of the disgruntled staff members and (others)."
one of the investigators.
"Throughout the past 100 days I have listened to frequent hearsey and misstatement of facts regarding Dr. Gipp and his administration," Murphy wrote in a letter to
Dan Watkins, Gipp's attorney, agreed with Murphy.
"Any appearances of misconduct or impropriety have been created by unscrupulous repetition of half-truths and untruths by those making the allegations rather than by any improper conduct on the part of Dr. Gipp." Watkins said. "The allegations have become the conclusions despite all of the evidence to the contrary.
"Dr. Gipp deserves public acknowledgment that the serious allegations, which have
been publicly repeated so often, are unfounded."
The investigation involved four charges, the most serious of which was the issue of the stewardship.
The session was offered to 11 students who were short one class required for graduation. Gipp approved a plan whereby the students could challenge their failed courses and get denié. Denié Gipp was the only student to successfully complete the summer session.
After completing the class, Denise Gipp's failing grade was changed to a "D." This led some faculty members to charge that the session was developed solely for her benefit.
Watkins said that after Gipp's initial
approval of the session, Gipp was not
members designed and developed the program.
The fact that the other 10 students were uninterested or unsuccessful in completing the session did not detract from the legitimacy of the summer session, he said.
Keena said that the only reason the summer session came under fire was the appearance of impropriety and that he was satisfied with the outcome of the investigation.
"I think the case was handled very appropriately after very careful investigation," Keena said. "I think the school will have no adverse attention now. I'm convinced the school will get on in the goal of educating its students."
