Scales Retiring

The AP and the Southern say James Scales won't return to his position as Director Of Career Services at SIUC, retiring on March 1st and using vacation days until then. Like most news that organizations don't want a lot of attention paid to, SIUC released the press release late yesterday afternoon. And guess what's not on the Saluki Times as of about 4:30 today?

Director of Career Services James Scales is still listed as the director on SIUC's website, despite the furor regarding his claims of military service and the rumor he was planning to step down as a result. If the allegations are true, he could serve up to a year in prison and pay a $100,000 fine.
