WSU President Kirk Schulz and the Board of Regents hear comments and address concerns about Robert Barber and the university's student conduct process in an well-attended open meeting on campus Friday morning
Washington state Senator Michael Baumgartner (R- Spokane) and many of Robert Barber’s advocates came together Friday morning on the Washington State campus to ask WSU’s Board of Regents to reinstate Barber to the football team and allow him to graduate with his criminal justice degree.
They succeeded on one of those fronts. WSU President Kirk Schulz announced at the start of the meeting that the school had worked out a way for Barber to finish his coursework off-campus and graduate as planned in December, while still serving his suspension.
